Understanding Codependency

Detaching with Love
True love requires respecting others' boundaries and allowing them to experience the consequences of their own choices. This means letting go of the need to fix, control, or rescue others, and instead focusing on personal growth and well-being.
Taking Responsibility for Yourself
The importance of taking responsibility for one's own happiness and well-being by identifying personal needs and desires, and developing self-care practices that nurture physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

๐ก Full 15min Summary
Codependency is a complex condition that develops from prolonged exposure to difficult relationships. It involves unhealthy attachment, caretaking, and control of others to meet one's own emotional needs. Codependents lose sense of self as they become obsessed with others' problems. They repress emotions, have poor boundaries, and lack self-care. Recovery requires awareness, self-love, and taking responsibility for one's own life. With compassion and courage, codependents can detach from dysfunction, establish healthy relationships, and reclaim their autonomy. Healing this chronic condition brings newfound freedom, empowerment and peace.
