Chrisley Knows Best Alum Is The Giver

On her latest Unlocked podcast, Todd Chrisley’s daughter opened up about how she can’t seem to separate her feelings from things the men in her life might do. She talked about “codependency,” a controversial psychological condition identified in the 1980s.

According to Positive Psychology, Savannah Chrisley is talking about “Taking care of others, to the point where they forget to take care of themselves.” This can result “in a disturbance of identity development.” Additionally, Psychology Today explained that “one can enable a loved one’s irresponsible or destructive behavior.”

What Did Savannah Say?

In her podcast, the reality TV star said, in part:

[There’s a] pattern of painful dependency on compulsive behaviors and approval from others in an attempt to find safety, self-worth and identity…

Furthermore, she mentions how she finds that there are “no boundaries.” Mentioning Grayson Chrisley, she talked about how she takes on board “everything” for him and struggles to spare him her own bad experiences.

In her conversation, she mentioned her dad and Nic Kerdiles. Certainly, it seems that she wants to excuse the men in her life for anything because she wants to make them seem as perfect as she can. Interestingly, Positive Psychology likened “codependency” to a partner who will defend their man against drinking too much or behaving badly.
