Navigating Codependency in Coaching Relationships

In this episode, the hosts dive into the topic of codependent clients and coaches with saviour complexes.

John and Angie share personal experiences, address the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and discuss the potential pitfalls of seeking or becoming a reliance centre for clients.

They further explore how unhealthy dependencies can form, the need for coaches to empower rather than disempower, and the ethics involved in maintaining professional coaching relationships.

Our hosts also emphasize the significance of self-awareness and continual personal development as essential elements in effective coaching.
