Codependency & Loneliness - Insight Timer Live

This is a recording of an Insight Timer Live from May 2021. In this talk and guided shadow work exploration, Catherine explains codependency as a dynamic originating in our earliest experiences of maternal bonding, and as an imprint in our nervous systems. Early on, our bodies got the message that in order to be loved, we could not be fully authentic. She then shares how we can gently open to greater self-definition and expression while in a relationship as a way of actually deepening intimacy.

This really resonates with me. I love it! The Shadow Work portion was profound. Thank you 🦋

Oh what a treat! I thought the talk was good, I came here for the talk. I mean good with a capital G. Then the practice… how revealing that was, I had no idea ‘that’ was there. Is that why its called shadow work?Lots of unexpected tears for me… but thank you Catherine for hanging around after the practice, even as I was listening to the recording, it felt so safe and reassuring that you didnt show me this path that made me feel so undone and then left me… that was a beautiful recovery space… and even though it was deep, and a bit of a shock to me, it was really, really good. Like I found a deep splinter that now has a good dose of balm on it and may be wiggling out… thanks so much for sharing so authentically of your stories too, its the pictures to all the ‘theory’ all the talk, that help it make sense and be ok. Ok too because we know that even accomplished people have these experiences too…

I have been in therapy for over 10 years. This session helped me immensely in 75 minutes. I will be a loyal follower.

I deeply appreciate what you’re bringing to the world. Excellent description and definition of codependence. Thank you!

I could totally relate to most of what you said!!! Thank you!

Thank you. 🙏

Putting into words my chameleon like nature in different relationships as the defining feature of codependency really helped... Time to grow up and be me! 😅

🙏😊🩷

So great. I really was able to see and feel the trauma my inner child has experienced and sit with those feelings and emotions.

Great. Thanks

Thank you Catherine 🙏🏻

What a heart-felt experience! As though she was speaking directly to me. I'm grateful for her knowledge and understanding of my personal experiences. Catherine's big heart shines a light on the path to healing.

Very insightful and validating. Looking forward to trying some of your shadow work meditations 🫶

So sensitive intuïtive and helpful
The body keeps the score

Very helpful…thank you so much!

Amazing. That really resonated with me and now apparently my daughter feels these things about me especially and my husband somewhat. I’m struggling with being the source of her pain, when being a mother was the only job I believed I did well.

Amazing

Thank you 😊 hit the spot I’ve been trying to scratch 💜

My 8 year old self arrived at my present day age and house with two suitcases- one with clothes and the other with Barbie’s. I’ve never thought to have her move in with me today. And it was very powerful. Everything I was feeling in my body was intense especially around my heart and lower gut. Let the healing begin 🤍🦋🤍 thank you ✨🙏✨

So insightful and moving thank you 🙏

🙏thanks

Thank you so much. This helped me so much. Namaste🙏🌈

Really powerful. Thank you 💚🙏🏼🧚🏼

So insightful and deeply healing

incredible

I am so happy that you are sharing your experience and knowledge, it is a gift. Thank you.

Powerful stuff presented so well

Amazing, this really resonated with me.

Just the tip of the iceberg, yet so so deep. Thank you for this work. Much gratitude. 🙏

Thank you Catherine. I'm ever so grateful for your perspective and offering opportunities for me to identify and define experiences from my childhood. Sharing just one takeaway from this recording....In the exercise I connected with my inner child and realized how confused she is. Confused by so often getting mixed messages from the adults in her life with which she heavily relied on for guidance and understanding. And I believe, that because I am here to help her with/thru the confusion, that my inner child chooses to come with me.
Love a victory pose! Surprisingly, this session's victory pose brought forward tears of relief yet proud of what I was able to uncover today. Thank you 🙏🏻🤍

Incredibly insightful + gently healing ❤️‍🩹

Thankyou that was deep and I received lightbulb moments 🙏💫💖

There are fine distinctions to be made between when to practice compassion and when to demand others meet minimum standards of adult behavior. I am referring to the “Bagelgate” story and your reappraisal of how you acted with the boyfriend vs how you would do it today. I find it difficult to understand the right thing to do in a situation like this. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Absolutely illuminating

Than you 🙏 Healing codependency is an ongoing practice for me. I really enjoyed this conversation and healing work.

😢😥😢🤯🤯🤯🙏🏻💙🙏🏻

Amazing session. Tears unfolded during the exercise. Thank you!!

Simply life changing 💓

😊 Great comfort here in truth… you just don’t know until you listen 👂 to it all.

I appreciate the recording so I can listen again again to completely digest and integrate this wealth of helpful information. Many thanks and much blessings Namaste 🙏
