In this episode, we explore the five signs that indicate you've boarded the "crazy train" in relationships. From codependent behaviors to emotional reactions, we delve into scenarios and solutions to help you regain your balance.

Key Takeaways:

- Intense Emotions: Identify when you're trying to fill an emotional void through distractions like dating apps or overeating.

- Problem-Solving Frenzy: Recognize when you start planning excessively to cope with your feelings.

- Urgency in Fixing Others: Notice when you feel a disproportionate sense of urgency to solve someone else's problems.

- Deflecting True Feelings: Understand how rationalizing unacceptable behaviors in others can indicate a fear of addressing the real issue.

- Obsessive Thoughts: Be aware of when you're obsessing over someone else's actions or problems, which is a sign of being hooked.

Quotes:

"Part of jumping on the crazy train is when we can't tolerate what's happening inside of us." – Sarah
