Ep. 042 – Is Your Soul Well? Recovering from Codependence & Other Addictions Part 2: Whole Life Podcast Relaunch
In Part 2, Dr. Barbara and Pastor John go even deeper into codependence, emotions, narcissism, and addiction as an attachment issue. You’ll hear a clear picture of the codependent cycle (conflict → over-compromise → resentment → blow-up → guilt → repeat), how fear, pain, and control drive our patterns, and how Jesus and healthy community can break the loop. They also explore how addiction often becomes a primary attachment when early emotional needs weren’t met—and how connection, not just willpower, is at the heart of recovery. Note: The thoughts and opinions expressed by our guests are their own and may not always reflect the views of Dr. Barbara or Heart Journey Ministry.
