I believe it is important to interrogate the etiology of codependency which has become such a buzz word in pop psychology. Codependency may have its roots in early attachment trauma - the inability of a caregiver to form a safe and stable relationship with their child. However, it is also important to honour the cultural diversity of being in relationship and being in community. Western culture tells us we are supposed to be happy alone, when this is not the way humans lived for millennia. Collectivist cultures show us a different story of what it is to be in relationship.
Ultimately, learning to cultivate a sense of secure attachment, along with agency and flexible boundaries may be a way to walk the middle path in addressing codependency concerns.
