Codependency Recovery

In a relationship, do you think you have to sacrifice your own needs to keep peace and harmony? Do you feel scared or anxious about spending time alone? How often do you turn other peoples' invitations down to keep your partner happy? Probably most of the time. You are a giving person, but your own emotional needs have started to fade away in your relationship. You put your attention on comforting your partner instead of comforting yourself. Creating and maintaining a healthy, loving relationship that can last requires some fundamental changes in yourself.

Signs of codependency are often hidden in plain sight. Are you making lots of sacrifices to make other people happy, but they don’t seem to return the favor? Does your relationship seem kind of one-sided? If this sounds like you, you likely suffer from codependency. But you don't have to be worried! There are lots of ways to even the battlefield and get your life back. The first step is to understand what codependency means. Experts say it's a behavior pattern in which you find yourself dependent on approval from someone else for your self-worth and identity.

People with a narcissistic personality disorder can be very charming and manipulative, and it’s super easy to fall into their clutches.

Self-esteem and codependency are both very much interlinked. If you have codependent tendencies then the chances are there are underlying issues with self-esteem. The good news is that both can be worked on to break the cycles in order to develop more meaningful and rewarding relationships in your life. Just because these patterns have repeated themselves in the past doesn't mean that it has to be this way forever. But having clear understanding and strategies in place in which to improve on moving forward are absolutely vital.
