Resolving childhood trauma and stress will eliminate the need for codependent behavior, which stems from childhood distorted messages. Set boundaries effectively, develop self-worth, and an inner sense of safety that is not dependent on external variables.
Human beings naturally attach to feel safe and loved in a way that is familiar. We often have attachment styles that are related to childhood family dynamics and unhealed wounds. We need to get to the root of how we love and how we want to be loved to heal.
Breaking free from the chains of codependency is a courageous journey towards reclaiming autonomy and building healthier relationships. I provide a compassionate space to untangle the intricate threads that bind unhealthy patterns. Together, we explore the roots of codependency, unraveling the dynamics that hinder personal growth. Together we focus on establishing boundaries, fostering self-awareness, and cultivating a strong sense of self.
