Have you ever been in a friendship that's enmeshed?
Being enmeshed means that you are overly involved in another person's life to the extent that you may be sacrificing your own needs and emotions, or expecting them to cater to your needs/emotions. Most likely you and the friend violate each others' boundaries and this can cause trauma.
Recognizing enmeshment is important because it can give us insight into our own intentions and behaviors. If we have curiosity about our behavior in a relationship, we can be more self-aware. And THAT is self-care for us survivors of trauma!
