What is it?
Codependent relationships are when two people depend too much on each other.
Sometimes, these relationships might seem nice at first, like really loving and exciting.
But over time, they often become not so great and can even become harmful. This isn't good for either person.
A codependent individual may measure their self-worth based on their ability to care for, please, or “save” another person. [1]
What do I need to know?
Codependent individuals can recover & enjoy healthier and more fulfilling relationships if they do the work required. Here are a few strategies:
1. Set Boundaries: Establish clear limits and personal boundaries within the relationship. Make sure you have time and space for your own interests and well-being.
2. Seek Support: Consider talking to a therapist or counselor who can help you understand and work on the codependent patterns in your relationship.
3. Self-Care: Prioritize self-care and self-love. Take time for your own hobbies, interests, and personal growth to build your self-esteem and independence.
