“The only way you’re going to be in epic relationships with other people is if you have an epic relationship with yourself. It’s so incredibly important that you do that, and that you give yourself permission to be supported by the people who love you.” – Terri Cole
Intro
Do you find it hard to open up to people, especially when you’re struggling?
Is it hard for you to ask for or allow help?
Have you ever had a crisis where you kept what was happening to yourself because you didn’t want to worry anyone?
If you’re nodding yes, today’s video is for you because I’m sharing the high-functioning codependent (HFC) behaviors I noticed in myself as I navigated a recent health scare.
I’m also talking about the hidden cost of not asking for help.
By sharing my story, I hope to inspire you to care for your health and let other people show up for you.
Highlights:
- 03:00 My family history of breast cancer and the story of my recent abnormal mammogram
- 7:20 How my high-functioning codependent tendencies affected my coping strategies, and the dream that made me confident that I could manage whatever happened
- 13:30 How hyper-independence can return in crisis, even if you’re recovering from high-functioning codependency
