Ep: 181 Q&A: Reciprocal vs Transactional Relationships

In today's episode, we explore the idea of what authentic reciprocity looks like in relationships and how we move away from relationships that are based on giving in an attempt to get something in return. 

We talk about:How resentment can be a barometer that indicates when and where our codependent tendencies are being activatedThe idea that we entitled to anything from a partner being based on the ownership templates we’ve all been raised withHow often we over-give our time, effort, and energy to others into others hoping they’ll give the same back to us in return, and why the answer us to pull back some of that energy and begin putting into ourselves.How over-functioners can reframe resentment into an opportunity to step into their own growing edge with vulnerability.
