Codependency Isn't Sexy
Codependency in relationships isn't sexy and conquering issues related to being codependent are incredibly challenging. Codependency is often related to emotional trauma tied to childhood abandonment and neglect. Feeling invisible, uncared for, and unseen arrests a child's emotional growth. Feeling abandoned, a child assumes it is their fault, which causes shame. Below the veil of consciousness, shame causes the ego to live in a defensive state, skirting around abandonment issues. Things like people pleasing, enabling, caretaking, and looking to fix others, can be tied to expectation, disappointment, anger, and even rage. And because codependency is rooted in the subconscious mind, we often don't even know we are codependent until our lives become unmanageable.
