113. Understanding Healthy (and Unhealthy) Relationship Dynamics
None of us are born with the skills to build and sustain healthy relationships. These things are learned. In this episode, our guest is Ryan Cheney, an experienced psychotherapist and behavioral leadership coach, guiding us through the intricacies of healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Our conversation will explore the importance of interdependence, the negative impacts of codependency, and the nuanced practice of attunement, including how to rectify misattunements. Further, we will delve into the role of healthy boundaries in building resilience and trust, how resistance and perfectionism can hinder growth, acceptance and self-awareness, and the difference between appeasement and compromise
