Deep dives

What is Codependency?

Codependency goes beyond dependency or relationships with addiction; it involves soul-sucking dynamics that impact both the enabler and the enabled. Codependents second-guess themselves when mistreated instead of setting boundaries, leading to increased pressure and a lack of honesty about their motives. They often wait for external validation and connections, becoming fixers in dysfunctional relationships.

Many people misunderstand what codependency actually is -- a compulsion to donate all your focus to another person's life, and then to try to control them and extract your happiness from the hope that THEY will change. In this compilation, I share four of my most popular videos about codependency and the ways people with trauma are particularly vulnerable to it. If you know the signs, you can stop codependent tendencies before they ruin your relationship and drain everything good from your life.
