Healing Your Relationships: What Is Codependency Really?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing yourself in relationships—saying yes when you mean no, staying silent to keep the peace, or feeling invisible even with the people you love—you’re not alone.

Today, we’ll explore what codependency is—not just the textbook definition, but the deeper truth: Codependency isn’t who you are; it’s something you learned to survive. I’ll share how these patterns often begin in childhood, how they shape our nervous systems and relationships, and how we abandon ourselves to avoid loss or rejection.

You’ll hear a piece of my journey, and I’ll offer reflection questions to help you see where you might be leaving yourself behind. This work isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering who you are beneath the patterns that once kept you safe.

What an amazing talk you have presented here, thank you so much!

Thank you. This made so much sense to me and helped me understand more about me, my behaviours and my life.

Thank you! I enjoyed the way you laid out this difficult topic.

Fantastic! This felt so personal and has shined a light on the reasons for some lifelong patterns in my relating to others. I am ready to do this work.
