Frequently, I am asked this question.
Co-Dependency is when you relate to a relationship, in which you are psychologically dependent in an unhealthy way on someone else.
Here are some tips to identify co-dependency: *good feelings about who you are stem from being loved by someone *good feelings about yourself stem from receiving personal approval *your mental attention is focused on pleasing a certain person *your mental attention is focused on protecting that person *you put your own hobbies/interest aside, and spend your time sharing that persons interests/hobbies *you are unaware of how you feel but are aware of how the other person feels *all the dreams for your future are directly linked to the other person *your fear of rejection determines what you say or do *you use giving as a way of feeling safe in your relationship *your social circle diminishes as you involve yourself with this other person *you put your values aside in order to connect with that person *you value their way of doing things more than your own and/or *your quality of life is in direct relation to the quality of that person.
If you find yourself relating to these things, come share with us on Tuesday evenings. We begin with a meal at 6, Praise & Worship start at 7. Hope to see you there!
Have a great day, and God Bless
