#648: The Biology of Codependency: How Hormones Hijack Your Relationships

You keep rescuing, overgiving, and staying too long.
You know it’s not healthy—but it feels impossible to stop. Why?

Because your brain isn’t the only thing involved—your body is.

In this episode, we explore how hormones like oxytocin and dopamine keep you biologically tied to toxic or imbalanced relationships—and how codependency is less about personality and more about survival wiring.

You’ll learn how to reset your body’s “love loop” and build safe, stable connections that don’t cost your identity.
