Oh boy... I know this is a tough one.
What does Co-dependency actually look like?
These are 20 signs of Co-dependency...
Do you have...
Depression?
Anxiety?
Stress?
Low self-esteem?
Low levels of narcissism?
Familial dysfunction?
Low emotional expressivity?
These are some of the things (Marks et al., 2012) found to correlate with codependency.
According to Lancer, 2016; Mental Health America other signs of Co-dependency may also include:
Having poor boundaries;
Having a hard time saying no;
Having trouble communicating honestly;
Showing emotional reactivity;
Having a need for control, especially over others;
Feeling compelled to take care of people;
Feeling a need to be liked by everyone;
Feeling a need to always be in a relationship;
Fixating on mistakes;
Denying one’s own needs, thoughts, and feelings;
Having intimacy issues;
Confusing love and pity;
Displaying fear of abandonment.
If that's you or your partner I recommend couples therapy!

No two people that struggle with co-dependency share the same symptoms. What we do know is that co-dependency involves giving too much at your own expense, and asking for what we need can become daunting. Co-dependency recovery relies on four areas: refocusing on yourself; ii) setting firm boundaries, iii) learning how to identify healthy relationships; and iv) internal family system work. Let's learn about you got here and how we can tailor your learned reactions.
