72: Sibling Codependency: When You Can't Function Apart

In this episode, Minaa B. explores sibling codependency—when closeness crosses into enmeshment and siblings can't function independently.

She defines what sibling codependency looks like, why it develops and gives special attention to twins who are often expected to be a single unit rather than two separate people. Minaa then breaks down the crucial distinction between codependency and healthy closeness, and offers strategies for separating while staying connected through healthy boundary differentiation, emphasizing that you can individuate and still maintain a meaningful sibling bond.
