Challenges of Codependency
Codependency is a significant relational pattern that often manifests as a struggle for balance between autonomy and dependency. Individuals in codependent relationships frequently subjugate their feelings and needs, leading to emotional neglect and resentment. The aim should be to cultivate interdependence, where both partners maintain their individuality while supporting each other’s growth. Recognizing that individuals are not responsible for their partner's emotions is crucial, and learning to establish healthy boundaries is essential in overcoming codependent behaviors.
