In this episode of The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast, host Allison K. Dagney shines a light on the often overlooked aspect of codependency - self-denial and martyrdom. With her compassionate and insightful approach, Allison delves into how these behaviours can deeply affect one's healing journey. Codependency is typically characterised by an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and low self-esteem.
However, Allison argues that self-denial and martyrdom take this a step further, leading to emotional exhaustion and a reversal of energy where one's own needs are neglected in favour of others'. Using relatable metaphors like an energy bank account, she explains how constantly giving without replenishing leads to depletion. She encourages listeners to question why they engage in self-sacrificing behaviours and offers actionable strategies to address them, such as journaling and seeking honest feedback from trusted individuals.
Allison also touches on the importance of embracing one's inherent worth and engaging in spiritual practices to foster emotional healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with codependency, offering practical advice and a fresh perspective on achieving balance and self-love.
