Understanding Codependency as a Relationship Style
Codependency is not seen as a psychological dysfunction but rather as a dysfunctional style of having relationships. It is a way of relating to oneself, the world, and other people that stems from early adaptations to dysfunctional relationships. In a codependent relationship, needs are met in destructive ways, such as denying personal truth to maintain closeness or keeping someone sick to prevent abandonment. The key lies in determining if dependency in the relationship is detrimental or beneficial.
