Summary

Childhood experiences, like lack of praise or excessive attention, often shape codependent behaviours. These patterns can attract relationships with narcissists. In this episode, we'll explore the roots of codependency, its connection to seeking love in unhealthy ways, and ways to heal from both narcissistic relationships and codependent tendencies.

What you will learn in this episode:

  • Understanding Codependency: A deep dive into the nature and characteristics of codependent behaviour.

  • Roots of Codependency: Exploring the underlying factors that lead individuals to develop codependent tendencies.

  • Pathways to Healing: Strategies for overcoming codependency and recovering from relationships with narcissists.

In this episode, I'll open up about how my childhood experiences shaped my codependent behaviours, ultimately leading me into a relationship with a narcissist. I'll guide you through identifying how codependency became a part of your life because by uncovering and understanding the root causes, we can start ourselves on our journey of healing."
