Ep. 073 – From Codependence to Christ Dependence | Part 15 The Geometry of Love
Why do some relationships collapse under pressure while others hold?
In this WHOLE Life Podcast episode, Dr. Barbara Jean Lowe Sauvé explores the hidden geometry beneath relational breakdown, contrasting the Triangle of Pain (victim–rescuer–persecutor) with the Triangle of Christ-Dependence, where Christ bears identity, security, and meaning so human love can breathe.
Drawing from attachment science, Gottman research, Scripture, and engineering metaphors, this episode reveals why relationships fail under strain, how codependent patterns form, and how covenant love restores stability.
The episode concludes with a gentle transforming-touch prayer, inviting Christ’s peace into the nervous system and leading us to the table where grasping ends and belonging becomes secure.
You are loved. You are not alone.
