In this episode, we explore why we become emotionally dependent, how it connects to attachment styles and why it can feel like love while slowly draining us.

Grounded in psychology and real experience, this is a reflection about rebuilding emotional independence, reconnecting with yourself and learning to love without losing who you are.
