Relationships are difficult. Sometimes our need for a relationship undermines our ability to function. This is made more complex when the significant other experiences a similar dysfunctional drive. The good news: this can be fixed. It is possible to have healthy, mutually respectful, and supportive relationships.
Codependency is something that many people struggle with in relationships. This can promote feelings of helplessness and fear. It is possible to move from this place to inner strength and independence within a relationship which is great news for many!
Over the years, I’ve observed that many of us have aspects of codependency within us. Addressing our habitual focus on other people's needs and learning to be authentic again is incredibly rewarding. We often fear losing connection with others, but by embracing authenticity, we can balance our need for connection with our true selves.
Many of us have learned to prioritize attachment over authenticity out of necessity, leading to lives that feel less vibrant and exciting because they are driven by fear. Embracing authenticity doesn't mean becoming self-centered; rather, it allows us to set boundaries and limits without the inner stress or resentment that can arise from feeling obligated to fulfill others' needs without acknowledgment or reciprocity.
By learning to stop feeling responsible for others' emotions, we can feel safer and more relaxed around people, recognizing that this is a game we cannot win. This process helps you become grounded in yourself, present, and in touch with your adult self.

Co-dependency is when we lose sight of ourselves and get lost in someone else; when we have never learned how to notice and assert what we ourselves need in a particular relationship. Do you put the other first and increasingly hear a trapped voice in you whispering ´´What about me?´´ Let´s coax that part of you out, find out what you need to own as yours, what independence really can look like when it is allowed in.
