#codependency #codependencyrecovery #mentalhealth Codependency negatively impacts our mental health, therefore, codependency recovery is essential to mental health. Codependency by definition is a relational pattern characterized by excessive reliance on others for self-worth, resulting in an unhealthy and unbalanced dynamic.

In this YouTube video, titled, Unlocking Freedom: Overcoming Codependency for Improved Mental Health, Expert Advice & Strategies, world-recognized Lisa A. Romano, a codependency recovery and mental wellness Life Coach, explores the unhealthy human behavior caused by codependency. It is important to note, that codependency is an effect and not the cause. Codependency is a manifestation of toxic family dynamics that go unaddressed and leave children feeling unworthy, invisible, unseen, and in fear of persecution and or abandonment.

Signs of codependency include an excessive need for approval and validation, difficulty setting boundaries, neglecting personal needs and desires to prioritize others, fear of abandonment, and a tendency to enable or rescue others even at the expense of one's well-being.

A codependent relationship is characterized by an imbalance of power, excessive emotional reliance on the other person, and a lack of individuality and autonomy within the partnership.

To heal codependency, it is important to establish healthy boundaries, prioritize self-care and self-awareness, and seek support from therapy or support groups.

If you are codependent, you may love or offer to care for others subconsciously wishing to receive something in return. On the surface, this may seem innocuous. Below the veil, however, our need to please is rooted in shame, a loss of selfhood, and the fear of being abandoned or persecuted for daring to reveal our needs, wants, vulnerabilities, or true emotions.
