Last week, we talked about boundaries and how sharing them with others is powerful not just for yourself, but also for the person you’re sharing it with.
When you give yourself permission to be you, to have boundaries, and to share them freely so others can choose to respect them (or not), you’re also giving others permission to do the same.
This week, I share what I’ve learned about codependency from reading Melody Beattie’s book called, “Codependent No More.”
In all of my relationships with significant others, you could usually find me following them around, a few steps behind them, glued to their side, like a little shadow. I thought whatever they thought or told me to think, I did whatever they told me to do, I ate whatever they told me to eat, all because I wanted to please them, or make them happy, or think I was a great girlfriend.
I had no sense of self identity except for the one they created for me. I put all of my power in their hands, including my self worth, my value, and my happiness.
In this episode, I share with you my biggest insights on codependency and how detachment has really helped me in reclaiming ME.
