EP301: The Fine Line Between Compassion and Codependency. Use The Enneagram to Honor Your Relationships

"Codependency is one of the hardest things to break even professionally."<br /><br />One of the things that comes up a lot when I am coaching is an admission of feeling responsible for other people's feelings. And that can sneak right in no matter which Enneagram Type you are. <br /><br />But allowing that into any relationship can create an element of inauthenticity and, worse, codependency. <br /><br />And when you feel it is your responsibility to dictate how other people feel about something, you are creating an energy tourniquet that will block everything else that is good in your relationship. <br /><br />So how can you be sure you are walking in compassion for somebody who's struggling without swerving into codependency? <br /><br />Today on The Leadership Formula, I discuss how the Enneagram can help you discover what's at the root of your feelings of responsibility for other people's happiness (even your children.)<br /><br />Listen in as I explain why it's vital to check your motives in your relationships to make sure you're not settling for temporary harmony that could lead to emotional bankruptcy. Plus, a sneak peek into what's coming from Tracy O'Malley.com in 2023. <br /><br />My offerings will change in 2023, but there is still time to ensure you have the tools to step into your soul's calling.
