In this episode, Susan Guner and Kevin Martin explore the social perceptions of co-dependency and the need to rescue others from their suffering. We explore how childhood conditioning plays out in adult relationships, where compulsive patterns to sacrifice one's needs and wishes for the validation and approval of their partner result in unconscious resentment and unhappy lives.

The concept of “mind the gap “Is one underlying the transitional space between the client and therapist that is both conscious and unconscious. The space between our minds is the transferential space of entanglements and ruptures.

A space where two people develop a capacity to play, a freedom to explore with responsibility whilst taking risks to be vulnerable and authentic.
