Breaking Free from Codependency: Steps to Reclaim Your Independence
Manage episode 449838288 series 3568194
Many love songs and stories about relationships that we grew up hearing capture a strong view of true love. They often suggest that love comes with pain and struggle, making us feel that we need to work hard for love to last.
This often masks something deeper — codependency. When someone tells us, “I’ll always be there for you,” it can feel comforting, but it might also hint at an unhealthy kind of dependence.
So in this episode, I explain how Codependency can deeply impact how we view ourselves and can tie our self-worth to how others perceive us. This can lead to anxiety and feelings of low self-esteem. Over time, the emotional weight of this can keep us trapped in a cycle that feels hard to break. It’s exhausting and can leave us feeling drained.
