In this episode, we categorize boundary violations, distinguishing between minor, everyday "Little 'b'" violations and the more serious, relationship-eroding "Big 'B'" violations. We'll explore the damaging patterns of enmeshment, where individuality is lost, and codependency, where we enable unhealthy behaviors. You'll also learn to identify the manipulative dynamics of trauma bonding and the extreme self-protection of counterdependency.
