Untying Knots Episode 1: Welcome to Untying Knots with Melissa & Tanya

"Should I or shouldn't I?" is the main dilemma most people face when things are going wrong in their marriage/relationship and they want to end things. But how do you know when it is the right time to walk away?

According to insights from experts including family law attorneys, legal experts, counselors, and therapists, the most frequent indicators of potential divorce are difficulties in three main areas; communication; a diminishing sense of respect within the relationship, and a decline in intimacy.

In this episode, Melissa and Tanya talk about the breakdown of communication, lack of respect, and issues with physical intimacy in their marriages that ended in divorce, and provide insight as to what you can do if you feel it is time for you to file a divorce but you have no money, no family, and nowhere to go.

Untying Knots Episode 2: Should I or Shouldn't I? (3 Warning Signs You May Be Headed for Divorce)

In this podcast episode, Jessica Parente, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and ICF Accredited Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach, discusses codependency and its impact. 
Jess shares her personal experience with codependency, which began in childhood due to adverse events. She became hypervigilant, anxious, and perfectionistic, struggling with boundaries and indecisiveness. It wasn't until later in life that she recognized her codependent traits.
Jess explains what codependency is, and how it is developed, and shares symptoms of codependency. 

This episode explores how codependents are magnets for someone with narcissistic tendencies, and how overcoming codependency involves awareness, education and identifying and working on habits and boundaries. Modalities like Brainspotting, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems that work on the subconscious and somatic levels, rewiring codependent patterns are explained.

Jess shares the positive aspects of her recovery, including self-discovery, emotional balance, and the ability to choose how to engage with her codependent tendencies. Trusting intuition, setting boundaries, and feeling laid-back are among the benefits. She leaves us with her final thoughts that codependency is not a life sentence and can be rewired with hard work and diligence.
