Over the past few weeks, the subject of codependence has come up a lot. I see my clients suffering from codependence in their relationship with their parents, spouses, and kids, but it can also show up in platonic friendships or in the workplace too.
Codependency can take many forms and can be incredibly challenging to unwind, unpack, or even admit. It may have many tentacles in your life without you even realizing it, but if you suspect you’re suffering from excessive worry about others and a feeling of chronic self-doubt, or over-reliance on others, this might be something you want to explore.
Join me this week as I share what I’ve learned about codependence from Melanie Beattie’s book, Codependent No More. You’ll hear why we all have a little codependence on someone or something, how we bring it forth into our adult relationships, why it can be so self-destructive, and of course, how to break out of a cycle of codependence.
