151: How to Know If You're in a Codependent or Toxic Relationship with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

“Nobody else can fill an insecure gap of yours. If you've got some insecurities and you're waiting for somebody else to fill that hole, sorry, that's not gonna happen.”  – Dr. Neeta Bhushan   I’ve gotten a lot of questions in my IG DMs about this hot topic! So, I wanted to show it some reverence and share my thoughts with you here on The Brave Table.    In this episode, I talk about… Projecting past baggage onto current relationships. Recognizing your "dirty work" and committing to repair. Working on your insecurities and validating yourself.  Attracting healthy, secure love by putting your needs first. We can experience codependent or toxic relationships in any dynamic–intimate, familial, platonic, or professional. It’s important to not only know the signs when we’re in one but also to know how we’re contributing to the imbalance. If you find yourself in this situation, or know someone else who does, I’m here for support! Dive deep into this episode. Take some notes. Journal through the discussion question. Use what you’ve learned to build healthier connections–one step at a time.  Connect with me: Find me on Instagram @neetabhushan.  Find The Brave Table on Instagram @thebravetable.
