A lot of times grief can mimic the symptoms of depression...So another link that I would really encourage all of you to look at is trauma personality types.
Imagine feeling like you can't function without someone else's approval or presence. In this episode of 'Owning Your Recovery', Kinga Burjan sits down with Lydia Forge, a registered social worker, to tackle the complex issue of codependency. Codependency isn't just about being overly reliant on someone; it's a deep-rooted behavior often tied to family dynamics and addiction. Kinga and Lydia dig into how codependency can derail your recovery journey and what steps you can take to regain control.
Lydia shares valuable insights on the importance of acceptance and the grieving process in overcoming codependency. She emphasizes that understanding and acknowledging your trauma can be a pivotal step in healing. The conversation isn't just theoretical; they discuss practical techniques like healthier communication, identifying safe people, and the power of journaling to help break free from these unhealthy patterns. This episode is a goldmine for anyone struggling with codependency or supporting someone who is.
It’s not just about identifying the problem but finding actionable solutions to move forward. Whether you're at the beginning of your recovery journey or well along the path, Kinga and Lydia offer relatable advice and a sense of community that reminds you you're not alone in this fight.
