Happy Monday Heal Squad! Today we are welcoming back Human Connection Specialist, Mark Groves, and we are discussing the inspiration behind ‘Liberated Love’, the new book he co-authored with his wife, Kylie. In our conversation we explore the origins of codependency and how it manifests in our relationships. We also explore the connection between our childhood experiences and how they affect the way we navigate relationships in adulthood. Mark helps us gain a better understanding of attachment styles and their impact on our connections with others, interactions, emotional availability, and overall relationship satisfaction. Mark reminds us that we are born in relationships, we are wounded in relationships, we heal in relationships: We need relationships.

Whether you seek to enhance your current relationship or aspire to cultivate healthier connections in the future, this episode is a must-listen. Make sure to come back tomorrow for part two of our conversation with Mark Groves where we discuss how our body reacts to abandonment, navigating dealbreakers in relationships, and the value of people pleasers. 

Healers & Heal-Liners

All relationships end because they failed to have very clear and accurate agreements at the beginning

Context creates compassion

Your trigger is a radar to recognize the pattern that led to pain. 

The opposite of codependence isn’t overt individuation 

Honoring liberated love means honoring each person's paths as their own

Any subordinate group needs to learn the needs and nuances of a dominant group
