Mental and physical health support your core functioning, boundaries protect your health, purposeful tasks solidify your character, and healthy relationships balance your life. These resources can be invaluable tools to success.
If a relationship becomes more important than your mental health, does not support your boundaries, or disrupts your purposeful task, then it is unhealthy, codependent, and will lead to a relapse. Compromise here is how you abandoned yourself in the first place. It’s surprisingly easy to do.
Before recovery, something is rotten in our core. What it is, we are not sure. We only know that it is us, and we hate it. So we turned our back on it by throwing our love, energy, and effort to anyone or anything that helped us escape any sense of intimacy with ourselves.
The available resources are designed to help you educate yourself and temper your emotions. They are there to help you heal and inform your search for help if you need it. If you need a personalized approach to overcoming your codependency, send me a request on the contact page.
