Understanding Codependency: What It Is and How It Happens

Codependency is when someone relies too much on another person for their sense of self-worth and identity. It often stems from dysfunctional family dynamics, low self-esteem, enabling behavior, fear of abandonment, and a lack of boundaries. Understanding these factors is key to overcoming codependency and building healthier relationships. Seeking support from a therapist can provide valuable guidance and tools for breaking free from codependent patterns. Consider reaching out to a therapist specializing in codependency, especially if you're in Zürich or London, for personalized support and healing.
