Recovering from codependency involves setting boundaries, practicing self-care, seeking therapy or support groups, and working on building self-esteem and self-reliance. It's important to identify and address the root causes of the codependency, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and prioritize your own well-being. Healing from codependency is a process that takes time, effort, and self-awareness.

The common treatment for codependency is therapy and support group. One can find more information about the 12 step program from the following sources: Homestead Schools, Good Therapy, Recovery Connection, to name a few.
Codependency and enabling are closely related concepts often seen in dysfunctional relationships. Codependency involves an excessive reliance on another person for self-worth and identity, while enabling involves supporting or allowing unhealthy behaviors in another person. In many cases, codependent individuals may enable the behaviors of their partner or loved ones as a way to maintain the relationship dynamic.
Hmm; Codependency is prevalent in developed countries, I would suspect that.
Always! Codependency is very different than interdependence. We are a social species and we all depend on each other to some degree. A codependent person compromises their own values or integrity to avoid rejection or anger A codependent person is extremely loyal but will remain in a harmful situation too long. A codependent person may accept sex when what they want is love. This may seem like a good thing for the other person but in constantly supporting and enabling the other person's behavior, you are limiting their growth and encouraging destructive behavior. Codependent people also tend to attract abusive and controlling personalities. Codependency is never a good thing for anyone. It is a painful way to live for you and those around you. It is a difficult pattern of behavior to break and probably best addressed with individual therapy, a group such as Codependents Anonymous, or both.
