What is Codependency?

Codependency Definition

Codependency is when we live our lives through over-identifying with others feelings, beliefs, and needs to the point where we lose our sense of self.
Codependency Defined
Being able to identify it in ourselves is the first step to change.

Common Characteristics of Codependency:

Codependency Characteristics
1.  We want to please others so much that we're better at determining someone else's needs more than our own.
Codependent Characteristics
2.  We automatically share the same thoughts, feelings and beliefs of the other without actually knowing where we stand.
Codependent Characteristics
3.  We feel a sense of love, validation and approval primarily through abandoning ourselves for another.
Codependent Characteristics
4.  Our identity is rooted in the responses from others not in our authentic self.
Codependent Characteristics
5.  Due to chronic self-neglect we don't have healthy boundaries that enables us to have real intimacy.
Codependent Characteristics
Ultimately, codependency is consistently caring for others at our own expense.
