Hence, the codependent is an addict, addicted to others and external things outside to feel ok inside.
Ever wondered if codependency is more than just enabling someone's addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Genuine Life Recovery', Jodie Stevens breaks down the often misunderstood concept of codependency. While many think it's solely about supporting an addict, Jodie reveals it's much deeper, involving the denial of one's true self and the suppression of personal needs and feelings. She dives into how childhood experiences shape these tendencies, creating a 'false self' and fostering low self-esteem.
Jodie also touches on the external locus of control that many codependents struggle with, making it hard for them to feel in charge of their own lives. Sharing her own journey with codependency, Jodie offers practical steps for healing. She emphasizes the importance of autonomy and self-discovery, suggesting that prayer can be a powerful tool in this process.
Whether you're dealing with addiction or know someone who is, this episode provides a compassionate look at the impact of codependency and offers actionable advice for breaking free from its grip.
