How to Cure Yourself of Codependency, the Relationship Killer
What is codependency, and what’s your relationship with it?
Codependency is being dependent on outside circumstances and people to make you happy. Many codependents are children of narcissists who are used for their parents’ gratification.
My codependency put me in a disempowered place. We have all been tested in our lives. I was done blaming the outside for my issues.
I’m 47 now, and it came to a head in my 30s while I was unhappily married and anxious. I was constantly chasing something. It manifested in infidelity and eventually divorce.
Why is it so important to love yourself unconditionally?
This is the foundation of my coaching practice. Lack of self-love is the reason people are single.
Don’t put all your happy eggs into someone else’s basket. Take charge, and set clear boundaries.
An example of self-love is a woman who checks a dating app at 10 PM. Up comes a match. She thinks, “I must write back this minute.” Instead, she asks herself, “Do I really want to write back now? Or is it better to wait until tomorrow? What do I need right now? A boundary? I’ll set it.”
How does one cure themselves of codependency?
- Start with a 90-day commitment to yourself.
- Hire help. I worked with a therapist.
- Take care of yourself. Eat right, sleep well, do what’s healthy for you.
- Ask yourself: What else is needed? EFT tapping? Acupuncture? Law of Attraction?
- Know that your brain can be rewired in 90 days, if you discipline your thoughts and change your mindset.
- Have a conversation with your parents if you can to understand your codependency.
- Help your inner child heal. A good method is Inner Bonding.
- Develop unconditional love of yourself.
- Align your whole self (how you show up in the world).
Don’t worry about the how. Just allow!
