Ep: 181 Q&A: Reciprocal vs Transactional Relationships

In today's episode, we explore the idea of what authentic reciprocity looks like in relationships and how we move away from relationships that are based on giving in an attempt to get something in return. We talk about:How resentment can be a barometer that indicates when and where our codependent tendencies are being activatedThe idea that we entitled to anything from a partner being based on the ownership templates we’ve all been raised withHow often we over-give our time, effort, and energy to others into others hoping they’ll give the same back to us in return, and why the answer us to pull back some of that energy and begin putting into ourselves.How over-functioners can reframe resentment into an opportunity to step into their own growing edge with vulnerability. If you love the conversations we’re bringing you as much as we do, please rate and write a review of the podcast so we can get the podcast out to even more people!And, if you want to connect with us personally and deepen your work, we just launched our private online Cheaper Than Therapy Community.

Om Podcasten

Vanessa Bennett and Dené Logan are two soul sisters and therapists who connected over their shared love of depth psychology—known as the psychology of the soul. It is a template for diving beneath the surface to examine the complex natures of being human while on the quest for wholeness, including the relationship to spirit. Through their training and lived experiences with depth, yogic psychology, and mindfulness, they developed a passion for supporting others in living their most authentic lives while cultivating a fulfilling and rich relationship with the Self, capital “S.” Every Wednesday, Vanessa and Dené look to demystify, de-stigmatize, and desensitize what goes on both inside the therapy room and in daily life, through soul-provoking conversations with fellow seekers, thought leaders, changemakers, and real people during live coaching sessions as they navigate the hard work it takes to be a human.
