What is Co-Dependency?
According to Psychology Today “ Codependency is a dysfunctional relationship dynamic where one person assumes the role of “the giver,” sacrificing their own needs and well-being for the sake of the other, “the taker.”
According to the American Psychological Association “Codependency in a relationship is when each person involved is mentally, emotionally, physically, and/or spiritually reliant on the other. You could say the codependent defines his or her worth or goodness based on another person. A codependent relationship can not only exist between romantic partners, but also with extended family, children and friends, and in the majority of cases leads to dysfunctional relationship patterns.

My clients describe their co-dependent relationship in terms of feeling more like a hostage rather than an intimate partnership. Co-dependents usually loose themselves in childhood denying their feelings and needs and avoiding asking for anything because the parents are simply too messed up to deal with anything but themselves. If you are struggling with dysfunctional family (past or present), you don’t have to stay stuck in helplessness, hopelessness and despair.
I grew up with a Mother who was a alcoholic/ rage alcoholic and a Father who was a compulsive gambling addict and co-dependent. This had a severe impact on my family finances and resulted in various forms of emotional insecurity because of numerous core limiting beliefs. I suffered from exaggerated responsibility and martyrdom through two marriages until I finally got help.
When I started therapy, I suffered from low self-esteem, panic attacks and a number of unconscious core shame beliefs ie not good enough, not undeserving, others needs more important than mine etc. I also suffered from poor coping strategies and compulsive behavior patterns drugs and drinking for a time taking my life and my relationships in a downward spiral.

The Hallmark of Co-dependency is Martyrdom, Self-Sacrifice, Exaggerated Responsibility and Eventually a Total Loss of Self.
It has the following characteristics:
1. A tendency to make other’s needs more important than one’s own.
2. An increasing fear and insecurity and loss of control, which may fuel conflict.
3. Difficulty recognizing and expressing one’s feelings and needs with increasing loss of self-worth. The time is now to start your recovery process.

General addictions can range from addictive thoughts and compulsive behaviors such as sex, love, giving up one’s self to hold onto a relationship to experiences of repeated sabotaging behaviors creating repeated pain and lost. When I was growing up, we live an affluent life but because of addictions, my family would make lots of money and then loose it. It was a roller coaster ride moving in and out of big houses with creditor chasing us. I realized early on as an adult, my life was repeating the same pattern as my parents. This was unacceptable to me and by the grace of God, I got help. These addictive behaviors have an increasing negative impact in the persons life creating increasing misery.
