Codependent Relationship Signs - Lyn Smith&Michelle Farris - a podcast by Lyn Smith
from 2023-06-14T23:00
Lyn is joined by relationship expert and psychotherapist, Michelle Farris, to talk about codependent relationships: what they are, how they are formed, and what we can do if we find ourselves in a state of codependency, so we can heal and break the cycle.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Being codependent on someone else can affect everything in your life. Usually it isn't something you can recover from quickly.
- Codependency often begins in childhood as a reaction to parents who were not emotionally or physically present. The child needs to find a way to matter, and this then extends into adulthood.
- One of the main signs of being codependent is putting everyone else's needs above your own, causing you to lose yourself and not know what you need or want for yourself and your relationships.
BEST MOMENTS
'Codependency is like a tree with many branches'
'In adulthood this causes pain and havoc in our relationships'
'They're so focussed on taking care of controlling other people that they don't know who they are'
