Codependency and Unhealthy Relationships
Being dependent on others “needing to need us” equals codependency. It becomes your oxygen, and reason/purpose in life. You may become addicted and obsessed with controlling others’ behavior, robbing them of their personal growth. You may also allow their behavior to dictate your mood. Oftentimes the codependent person will have poor boundaries, saying yes when they mean no in an effort not to offend. This behavior allows you to “remain in others’ good graces.” You become the resident expert about what others need but are afraid to trust your own feelings. This can cause great pain and betrayal. If this describes some of the issues you are struggling with, we can teach you about setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries, speaking assertively, finding your own voice, and helping you to self-care in order to maintain a healthy life balance.
