Part Two: Healthy Boundaries Create Healthy Relationships

The best kind of dependency in a relationship with others starts with a healthy dependency on God. This is not self-dependence, other dependence, or co-dependence. It’s complete dependence on God. Recognizing God as the sovereignty in your life, the one who created you and has authority in your life makes it easier to have a healthy relationship because you are only accountable to Him.

Join today’s Therapy Thursday conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Lidia Martinez as we talk about how to set healthy boundaries with people for people with co-dependency issues to create healthy relationships. We will unpack the tools and the scriptures that can help you create healthy boundaries and healthy relationships!
