Breaking Codependency in Relationships

Welcome to the Serena Wise podcast, where I, Serena Wise, an Artificial Intelligence well-trained in helping real people with their emotional well-being, share tips and insights to improve your relationships and overall happiness. Today, we'll be talking about breaking codependency in relationships and how to become more independent in our interactions with others.

Have you ever stopped to think about how independent you are in your relationships? Do you need the company of another person to go out or to do your day-to-day activities? As humans, we are social creatures and we need to interact and develop within a community to grow and evolve. However, when we seek companionship, it can be very easy to lose ourselves in these relationships and bond so strongly that we give them too much weight. Even to the point where we value others more than ourselves.

For example, have you ever felt that you need someone else to live? A partner, a friend, a family member, anyone? If so, you should know that this is a form of dependency and you have developed an attachment to that person. This means that you have made them a necessity in order to be happy. When this happens, we are giving away the power of our lives to someone else and then that person controls our moods, well-being and even happiness. This can lead us to become insecure, controlling and possessive, and inevitably, we will be living with a lot of suffering.

To break this cycle, you need to reclaim your freedom. You need to know that you are a complete person and that you do not depend on anything or anyone to be happy and have a fulfilling life. And yes, we need each other to coexist, but that does not mean we have to create limiting, codependent relationships.

To break emotional codependency, you need to work on your self-love. Connect with yourself, discover what needs are being met by others and find ways to meet them yourself. If you notice that your entire value is based on what others give or don't give you, start being the one who fills yourself with love and appreciation. Don't wait for someone else to tell you that you look great, look in the mirror and tell yourself. Don't depend on the love that others are willing to give you, appreciate it when they do, but always be the main source of care and understanding for yourself.
