Love, care and concern make up the framework of our social interactions. Yet, when taken beyond a certain limit, they can become the source of emotional pain and mental stress.
Are you a Codependent - like I once was - looking for answers no one seems to know?
For the first 32 years of my life, I was hopelessly codependent. A troubled childhood in a dysfunctional family set the tone for my marriage to a self-absorbed narcissist. From a young age, I devoted myself to the service of those I loved - I had no choice anyway. I learned to keep silent and not discuss my problems. I learned to shunt my priorities aside in favor of helping others.
I ran myself into the ground to keep the people around me happy. Yet, I was hurt and hurt repeatedly by the same people I lived for. I made my life an extension of my husband's but I was never worth anything to him. I was emotionally bruised beyond recognition, and still, I burned to light the way even my help was not required.
And then, something monumental happened to me. It started with a chance meeting with a long-lost friend at the mall and my first therapy session, and ended in a divorce from the primary narcissist in my life.
My husband wasn't the only thing I divorced though. I went through a complete transformation and rebuilt my emotional boundaries. I learned self-love and restocked my self-esteem levels. Today, twenty years after my divorce, I have helped hundreds of codependents make that same journey.
Are you in a toxic relationship? Do you wish to regain control over your emotions and thoughts? Do you want to learn how to maintain healthy levels of self-esteem? Do you want to be free once again?
