Relationship codependency
 

What is Codependency?

Do you have a deep-seated need for approval from others? Does your self-worth depend on what others think about you? Do you have a habit of taking on more than you can realistically handle, both to earn praise or lighten a loved one’s burden? Do you have the tendency to apologize or take on blame in order to keep the peace?

You might be experiencing codependency. This emotional and behavioral pattern can take a toll on your mental well-being, leaving you feeling unfulfilled and disconnected. Childhood trauma often creates codependency in adults, but therapy can help.
