Deep dives
Understanding High-Functioning Codependency
High-functioning codependency is described as being overly invested in the emotions and situations of others at the cost of personal well-being. Many individuals, especially capable women, may not recognize themselves in traditional definitions of codependency, often believing they are solely responsible for their surroundings. This phenomenon can manifest as chronic self-sacrifice and feelings of burnout, often leading to resentment toward those they feel responsible for. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for individuals to identify patterns in their relationships and begin breaking free from them.
