The Ex Files
S01E02: Charli
Charli has spent her life giving to others both in her personal and professional life, in the same vein she now believes she must always give and help her partners, even if they aren't asking for it. This tends to be a common trait of co-dependency - one-sided relationships where the needs of others are put above your own to feel validated and 'needed'. In Charli's case her selfless need to help, fix and please others before herself is what is pushing her partners away.
Overview
The Ex-Files is a social experiment dealing with repetitive relationship patterns. Hosted by a charismatic Clinical Psychologist; this social experiment provides a unique opportunity for the participants to explore their relationship issues by consulting the people that know them best - their exes, close family members and friends - as life coaches/counsellors/teachers, and embrace change which is often easier said than done. Will our participants be able to face their past and stomach the advice given from the best and worst relationships of their life or will their defensive walls stay in place? It is one thing to acknowledge a need for change, but a whole other to take that leap.
