Codependency refers to an unhealthy relational pattern where individuals struggle with self-love and self-worth, seeking validation externally, particularly from close relationships.
If you find yourself constantly prioritising others’ needs, seeking external validation, avoiding conflict, and striving to please everyone, you might be experiencing signs of codependency.
Living in a codependent dynamic often involves feeling like you’re walking on eggshells, hesitating to make decisions, prioritising others’ desires, frequently apologising, seeking reassurance, and neglecting your own needs while trying to fix others.
The primary consequence of codependency is that individuals focus so much on caring for others that they forget to care for themselves, leading to an erosion of personal identity (Knudson & Terrell, 2012).
I’m here to help you comprehend codependency, its roots, and how to break free from this pattern. Together, we’ll work towards fostering a healthy sense of self and living a life aligned with your own aspirations.
Codependency is a psychological construct involving an unhealthy relationship that people might share with those closest to them. It is a lack of self love and worth for oneself and where one looks for external validation from others.
If you are always the caretaker in the relationship and always go out of your way to seek external approval, avoid conflict, and are always trying to make everyone happy you are likely co dependent.
If you are in a relationship where you always feel you are walking on egg shells, avoid making decisions and just go with what others want, say sorry all the time need reassurance if not getting enough affection or attention, trying to fix people and do nothing for yourself then yes you are highly likely living a co dependent life.
The main consequence of codependency is that codependents are busy taking care of others, forget to take care of themselves, resulting in a disturbance of identity development” (Knudson & Terrell, 2012)
I will help you understand codependency and why we are codependent and how we stop being codependent and have a healthy sense of self and live the life we want to lead.
