Do you tend to find yourself in similar relationship dynamics where you feel like you’re pulling the weight, your boundaries are not respected, and it is hard to feel important? You may be struggling with codependency, also known as anxious attachment.
What is Codependency?
Codependency is a term often used in the context of being in a relationship with someone who abuses substances; however, there are many who suffer from codependency who are not. More so, a promising symptom is codependents choose to focus on others needs; which is why they attract individuals who are emotionally sick.
Another term for codependency is anxious attachment. The truth is our body is wired to securely attach to someone who is emotionally safe. Some of us grew up in homes that weren’t exactly emotionally nurturing, so our bodies had to adjust to survive. So our surviving attachment coping patterns had to cope somehow, and that is how anxious attachment is MOSTLY developed. I say mostly because not everything is black and white!
Signs of Codependency may Include:
Low Self-Esteem
People Pleasing
Poor Boundaries
Caretaking
Control
Dysfunctional Communication
Denial
Problems with Intimacy
Painful Emotions
HOW DOES CODEPENDENCY TREATMENT HELP WITH THE HEALING PROCESS?
Codependency therapy heals through education – teaching you skills on how to handle emotional distress around relationships and trauma triggers. Often times, codependency stems from developmental trauma. As a result, we will be also processing the traumas that have impacted you.
This helps to regain your life and further you in your healing process.
