Deep dives
Understanding High-Functioning Codependency
High-functioning codependency refers to being overly invested in the emotional states and decisions of those around you, often to the detriment of your internal peace. Unlike traditional codependency, those affected may not see themselves as dependent but instead view themselves as caretakers or fixers. This mindset can lead to exhaustion, resentment, and feelings of being overwhelmed as they manage the problems of others while neglecting their own needs. Recognizing this pattern is crucial for healing, as acknowledging one's role in perpetuating these dynamics is the first step toward recovery.
