Transcending Co-dependence
Manage episode 486320016 series 2879506
We often celebrate codependence in nature, such as bees pollinating flowers and receiving nectar as their reward, yet when it comes to codependence in human relationships, it’s frequently seen as a problem that needs to be fixed.
In this episode, Thom gives us fresh perspectives on codependence, inviting us to celebrate our dependence on each other, while at the same time, learning to recognize when codependence has become dysfunctional.
Thom also offers up terminology to help us clarify the distinction between functional and dysfunctional codependence, giving us the means to avoid adding to the stigma that has evolved around codependence.
Episode Highlights:
[00:45] We Cannot Live Without Dependency
[03:32] Co-addiction
[06:42] Freedom from the Tyranny of Addiction
[09:36] Going Beyond the Constraints of Individuality
[11:56] Vedic Meditation, Easier Than Just Having Everyday Thoughts
[14:38] You Have to Start with Yourself
[18:09] Survival vs Progress
[20:50] Survival is a Product of Evolution
