Ep: 181 Q&A: Reciprocal vs Transactional Relationships - Cheaper Than Therapy Podcast
In today's episode, we explore the idea of what authentic reciprocity looks like in relationships and how we move away from relationships that are based on giving in an attempt to get something in return.
We talk about:
How resentment can be a barometer that indicates when and where our codependent tendencies are being activated.
The idea that we entitled to anything from a partner being based on the ownership templates we’ve all been raised with.
How often we over-give our time, effort, and energy to others into others hoping they’ll give the same back to us in return, and why the answer us to pull back some of that energy and begin putting into ourselves.
How over-functioners can reframe resentment into an opportunity to step into their own growing edge with vulnerability.

To me, all relationships in life have a transactional element in it. The issue comes when that is the main motivation.

What about when someone has gotten use to taking from you. You start off giving and that is what he expects. You dont want to do that anymore in any capacity..

I could have done without the f bombs. But I guess that is your reality. What I love is the advise about overflow. To give from overflow.
