Co-dependency

What is it?

Co-dependency is an excessive emotional or psychological reliance on another person. If you have a chronic need to be liked or stay out of conflict, or if you are willing to cave in and put another person’s needs before your own, you may be co-dependent. In essence, you are “dependent” on other people for your own validation or self-worth.

3 Reasons it Matters

1. You should never give someone else the responsibility or power to decide if you are okay and you matter.
2. Co-dependency trades away self-respect to avoid uncomfortable feelings with another person.
3. Co-dependency can cause you to lose years of living freely and authentically. Looking back, you may feel a deep regret that you weren’t able to be honest with yourself and others.
