Show Notes
Have you ever felt like someone else's emotions completely dictate your emotional state?
In this episode of Mentally Strong Mums, we explore the psychology of codependency and emotional enmeshment — where one partner begins absorbing the emotional world of another.
We discuss:
• What emotional enmeshment is and how it develops • Why some people feel responsible for their partner’s emotional wellbeing • The impact of emotional contagion on your nervous system • How childhood attachment patterns shape adult relationships • Signs you may be losing your autonomy in love • Practical tools to reclaim your identity and emotional boundaries
Understanding these patterns can help you step out of emotional exhaustion and into healthier, more balanced relationships.
Because love should expand who you are — not erase you.
