Fireside chats with Kelsey and V continue, this time under a full moon. Settle in around the fire for an intimate conversation about creating beyond codependency in a highly connected relationship. (Stick around until the end to be serenaded with a little ditty of theirs that you need to get stuck in your head…)
Kelsey and V have been together for 7 years. They are deeply committed to each other, and they’ve been asking some scary questions lately in an attempt to get at the heart of their connection with themselves and each other.
Codependency in relationships, we’ve all heard of it, and it gets a bad wrap sometimes. It gets judged and put down as a fault, or unhealthy even...is that because codependency is too narrowly defined?
If you are in a co-creative, committed relationship, and you’re growing together, what is so wrong with having some codependency?
Of course, as with any relationship, there are insecurities, attachments, and reaching new levels of depth and intimacy beyond codependency can be quite challenging...especially when you find yourself asking scary questions like,
- What if I don’t need you?
- What if you don't need me?
- What if we don’t need each other after all?
- WHO AM I WITHOUT YOU?
- WHO ARE YOU WITHOUT ME?
Scary questions? Yup. But what if the point was to have experiences independently in order to come together and share them afterward? How much more could you love your partner if you fell more in love with yourself?
They explore this in terms of their own relationship journey, and share intimate details about their experience as a couple that even THEY didn’t know about each other.
