5 ways to heal from codependency #codependency #relationship #relationships

- My first tip for healing from codependency is to communicate with our friends and partner. When we're gonna make change, we need to let people know so that they don't think something's wrong, or if there is something wrong, you can work together to correct it. My second tip is to start placing boundaries. A boundary is what I am going to do, right? 'Cause that's the only thing I could control. And so when I place a boundary, I would say something like, "If you keep talking to me that way, I'm going to have to leave the room." My third tip is to get to know yourself. When we're in a codependent relationship, we often rely on the other person to tell us what we like and don't like or what we wanna do or don't wanna do. So take some time, be curious and figure out what it is you like. Tip number four is to get to know your patterns. Does this codependent urge only come up in romantic relationships or maybe friendships or do we like to see people as projects that we can fix? And finally, tip number five, give therapy a try. Getting another perspective from a professional or even other people who've been through it can be incredibly beneficial.
