Codependents do not feel worthy as people and are continually looking outside themselves for validation. They feel profoundly incomplete and need another person to fill the void.
Ever felt like you're losing yourself while trying to 'fix' someone else? This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' dives deep into the murky waters of co-dependency in families dominated by addiction. Host Bruno J uncovers how addiction doesn't just affect the addict but warps the dynamics of the entire family. Co-dependents often feel a profound sense of incompleteness, constantly seeking validation from others and sacrificing their own needs and identity in the process.
The denial that keeps the family appearing 'normal' discourages open communication and honest expression of feelings. In such an environment, traits like people-pleasing, rescuing, poor boundary setting, and hypervigilance become the norm. This episode sheds light on the significant consequences of co-dependency, including self-abandonment and self-sabotage. Bruno J emphasizes that breaking free from these toxic patterns requires recognizing one's powerlessness over addiction and seeking help.
It's a raw, supportive, and enlightening conversation that underscores the need for individual growth and therapy. Tune in to understand the insidious impact of co-dependency and learn how to start the journey towards recovery.
