Overcoming Co-Dependency

Codependency describes one person’s behaviors and attitudes rather than the relationship as a whole. Someone who is codependent often builds their identity around helping others. They may “depend” on others to validate their self-worth. A codependent person may deny their own desires or emotions to get this approval.

Parenting and Co-Dependency
Caregiver and Co-Dependency
