Without awareness, we cannot change or move forward. To make changes in our thoughts and subsequent communication, we need to be strategic, proactive and deliberate about our thinking. We need to try to be aware of what we are thinking about every day. This is called self-regulation.Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-one-mind-management-technique-required-for-sustainable-healingGet my new book Cleaning up Your Mental Mess here: https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.comDownload my new and improved brain detox app here: https://neurocycle.appSign up to join my free tex

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk about the difference between codependency and being codependent. In my previous podcast on relationships (ep 255), I talked about how to handle changing relationships, or how there may be moments when you must end a relationship and just walk away. For this podcast, I want to talk about a big concept that many people have heard of, but can be one of the hardest things to recognize in ourselves and others: codependency.Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/codependencyGet my new book Cleaning up Your Mental Mess here: https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.comDownload my new and improved brain detox app here: https://neurocycle.appSign up to join my free text program and receive mental health care tips.
