The Five Phases of Codependency can help an individual understand where they are in an abusive relationship or exploitative cult, as well as gain insight into a previous situation. The model can be used to understand the challenges, risks and opportunities at each phase, and inform decision making on how to resolve the situation and integrate the experience.

The idea is to provide a model based on what is happening in the mind, as opposed to what a narcissist/abuser is doing, to serve as a useful tool towards individuation, spiritual growth.

The Five Phases of Codependency are:

1) The Attraction Phase

2) The Bliss Phase

3) The Conflict Phase

4) The Clash Phase

5) the Recovery
