This is the final episode in the series on "Love, Compassion & Co-Dependence."
Shamanic practitioner and teacher Dory Cote addresses questions, including:
• Given the title of this episode, “when Love & Compassion become co-Dependence,” how would someone know if they have moved into co-dependence when they think they are being loving? [0:28]
• In Sufism, they call this concept Sovereignty. You must first do no harm to your self. And they use the analogy of being a hotel keeper, being of service to people who pass through your life. You want to serve them, make them comfortable, give them what they need. But if it is against the house rules, and it hurts the house, then that is not appropriate. [4:30]
• So, what tools can listeners use to spot co-dependent behavior—in ourselves and in others? [5:41]
• So when the co-dependency issues come up and we have had to put around another person, how can we love and show compassion to this person in a safe way? Whether the boundaries came up because it was our co-dependency, or theirs—how do we deal with this? [8:27]
• This completes our prepared questions. Do you have anything to add at this time? [14:51]
