9 Types of Codependency With Mark Groves

Hey Besties! Today, we're diving into the full length of the second half of Violetta’s eye-opening interview with Mark Groves. Get ready for more insights and surprises!

Are you more invested in your partner's life than your own Netflix queue? Do you find yourself constantly adjusting your mood thermostat based on someone else’s emotional weather? Buckle up as Violetta and Mark dissect what it means to be codependent, from obsessing over how others perceive us online to partnering up with someone who wouldn't cheer if you won the lottery. They will uncover the roots of codependency, explore the masquerade ball of personality masks—from the Perfectionist to the Damsel in Distress—and discuss why your life’s quality is basically the guest list of your personal relationship party. Tune in, and get entangled in the hilarious truths behind our relational binds!
