Understanding Codependency
Codependency involves dependence on another person to the point where it negatively impacts your life, self-expression, health, peace of mind, and ability to feel safe. It is important to differentiate between codependency and interdependency. Codependency is characterized by sacrificing oneself and prioritizing the needs of others over one's own well-being, often resulting in caretaking and an entrenched relational pattern. Interdependence, on the other hand, involves mutual dependence and healthy emotional expression. Codependent relationships can be observed not only in romantic partnerships but also in friendships, business partnerships, and relationships with clients.
