- What Is A Falsely Empowered Codependent?
In today's video, we're going to explore the concept of a falsely empowered codependent. A codependent is someone who has been hurt as a child and has developed unhealthy coping mechanisms in order to survive.
Sadly, because of a lack of knowledge, our society does not know that the most successful people, the ones we think are "normal," and have it figured out, are in fact, in most cases codependent and out of touch with the reality that they are in pain and need help.
This video is designed to help you understand the concept of a falsely empowered codependent, and to provide you with resources to help you break free from these unhealthy relationships.

I am a successful PhD scientist. Yes, this is true. While a star at work, people would be surprised at what a hot mess my personal life has been. My apartment is a mess. It took me years to upgrade my particle board furniture from graduate school when I was poor to basic middle class furniture - only after getting a push from others. I've had severe depression and stress-related health issues. I've gone through numerous abusive romantic relationships because I was so clueless about what love really is. My parents never valued me as a person and don't really like me (or my sibling) - only how braggable I am is valued by them. They left me out in the cold when I had mental health issues, health issues, etc...it's been an eye-opening few years after life has kicked me in the ass to the point where I absolutely had to get my life straightened out.
🥇 Nice one mate
Aww. You've got this! You can heal. Also, real friends don't care what kind of couch you have. I'd just love to find more PhD friends to converse about actually interesting things!
Thank you for sharing ❤ You ARE successful, not only because of your PhD and career, but because you have made yourself vulnerable on a public channel. Take care
I hope you have found Richard grannon on you tube. Your situation is not mine my friend. That’s true for everyone. However , I watched another grannon video today and your statement here resonates with his. Best wishes 🖖
Hello, I am happy for your insight to a happier lifestyle. I can see you are a survivor.
You are a beautiful person! Please talk more about avoidance for women over fifty. I have chosen narcissists over and over but I don’t want to become a single over fifty woman who says it’s more peaceful to be alone, I don’t want my hobbies and my grandchildren to fill the love void! There’s an epidemic of women like this. Please be brutal and give us a love pep talk on not giving up!
Meee toooo!
This video is almost UNREAL!! You are definitely GOD sent. Thank you for explaining ME FLAWLESSLY…beginning my journey of healing.
My husband is like this. He admits his childhood was bad and traumatic. His mother spoiled him too much and his dad was physically and mentally abusive. My childhood was traumatic too. I lived in an unsafe foster place.. Love your videos. ❤
Thank you for your work. Its crazy I've been noticing these things you mentioned in the world and my family dynamics and I'm so glad someone is finally putting words and meaning to it.
Only a short comment today.. YOU ARE RIGHT.. 80 to 85 % of our population at least of the upper middle class academics suffer from this pandemy..
@Excel.In.Life.Faith! They probably work in a corporate setting... there are many in that environment and they in turn enable the narcissists at the top.
Thank you Kenny.Needed to know what is self-love.
Extraordinary insight! So incredibly palatable; so perfectly presented....Much, much, much for me to reflect upon; to digest.
There are so many times when I listen to you that I feel love & admiration for you & your ability to reveal vulnerabilities & your courage in presenting sensitive dynamics & I just want to give you a warm, kind hug & encourage you to continue to share your 'Being' with us.
I am so grateful for you!
I can't agree more!!!
Another home run, your videos are one gem after another 🙏
Glad you like them!
Superb video.
Hi Kenny, as long as I can remember I have had awareness and self awareness.
When I participate in a Mindfulness group, I recognize what I haven’t consciously been aware of. Or possibly stopped being aware of.
Absolutely brilliant
Hi Kenny, I participate in a groups, which teaches mindfulness, DBT skills, meditation, and Yoga Nidra. So that is supportive of my process for social interaction and broadening my self awareness with the affect of understanding others perspectives and behavior.
Your knowledgeable information has supported me with the understanding about my curiosity related to a relationship. I recently became curious about what I felt is not quite right about his behavior when we interacted. I thought back, and I’m aware of the consistency of his lifestyle. As you stated, at first I thought it was Narcissism. Yet I doubted it because of the support I mentioned. This helped me understand what this is about. It’s also sad. I know he may not seek the support he needs. It’s sad that his happiness is only for one moment at a time while sadness is lingering subconsciously. when it’s possible, he could have a holistic quality lifestyle.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. WOW. Thank you Dr. Weiss. This is such an eye-opener for me. I am just mind-blown right now at how much revelation I’m receiving. Thank Jesus Christ for you kind sir. Have you written a book of any kind? Please let us know.
Thank you
It’s been a mystery to me why I knew, in young adulthood, that I was a screwed-up mess and needed therapy-because I was extremely successful and only had some anxiety and depression, which I was in denial about. So, you got it! I was happy? I thought so. But my job paid for psychotherapy, and I went. Wow! What stuff came out!
this is very important stuff, thank you for sharing
Mind blowing stuff!! If you can’t have them in your life then it is really hard to get interdependency without a relationship to begin with which can lead you to avoidant attachment out of resentment
This is so on point, everything! I found us repeating childhood through media and films, so interesting, never thought about it that way but it makes sense. And in recent years have been saying feminism, has become patriarchy, except we’re doing it to ourselves and don’t even know.
Hello Kenny, you’ll be I have good news. I’m grateful to have a doctor who practices holistic healing. The institution he practices at has both medical and behavioral health practices.
Modern RN institutions and instructors teach holistic health.
Hi Kenny, It is great that the PSYD. that guides the therapy group I participate in emphasizes about being accountable for our behavior. Another quality of this group is I have the ability to choose.
He empowers us. You’ll find it interesting his group is Adults with a wide range of ages. In his practice, he specifically works with children and teens for 15+ years. We definitely benefit from his knowledge and experience.
Very interesting content ..!
Again., resonates on so many levels to what I believe i have experienced in the past.
Loved your comments about the medical profession
Always learn such interesting things from your videos. Would love to see a video for those of us who love our animals more than people - how to stop being needless and wantless.
I am currently dealing with this. I would say that these people have ‘narcissistic’ tendencies because they thrive on perfection and knowing it all. They flat out deny any wrongdoing and their denial walls are so thick it’s impossible to get through to them. The fantasy they live in always makes them the “hero” or the “victim “ in any given situation. I call it manipulation which makes you think they are narcissistic. Either way, it’s very taxing and unhealthy.
Denial is man’s greatest defense and with this person I see that he has been in denial about everything….past relationships, his childhood, etc. He also has high anxiety….which I think comes from all the protection mechanisms he has to keep in place.
This applies to me. Overresponsible. Building walls between myself and others. Instinctively. But changing…
Externalization. A grandiose view of life. They seek admiration from others on a constant basis. They feel empty thus they must achieve ( human doers). May have fantsies of sucess and how wonderful they are. Sadistic superego always attacking them so they need others to tell them they are good , great because when I'm alone i feel empty and use denial of many feelings. Must stay busy because the emptiness will show up if they are not distracted. Difficult to treat these shame based people because their denial is so thick. Omission of truth. Wall of themselves so they can avoid intimacy which they fear. They believe the opposite of who they are
You can't tell them anything because they as a defense are all knowing. They will not take 1 class to do better at their occupation. They're extremely detached from who they are display pervasive denial. This denial is so thick and they externalize their difficulties. It's not their fault; even the nicestly stated way of how they should do things is taken as a an attack. Hypervigilence for critical or guilting. Often taking comments wrongly and view people as attacking them when someone just asked them to pick up a paper off the floor. They view the statement as an attack and plan their punishment of that person who dared to ask them to take the paperoff the floor. They shouldn't have to do that. Often have addictions to blow of stream and reduce their anxiety.
Yes women are becoming masculine these days and its not attractive. They will end up alone. Very self important women. Looks narcissistic. Power and control.
Your comments are spot on. They think of themselves as flawless and justify everything they do by being the “hero” or “victim” in every narrative they give you. You know they are living in denial or some fantasy land and calling them out on their manipulation just angers them.
So true. And i feel so sorry from the bottom of my heart for these people. Because what they think is normal its not, it was implemented in them, and they dont even know it. They just look at the world and they have no idea why they see it that way. Why people go away from their life. They have no idea. My heart goes out for them, because i used to be them, and i know how it feels.That what makes it hard to live them. Because its not their fault, but at the same time its not mine either.
Thank you❤
Kenny this is incredible. I so agree that the world is making addiction ok.
My H is like this. Breaks my heart that he lives in a fantasy
I'm thinking there is nothing I can do. I guess I just let him go?
You forgot to mention religion as an addiction to certainty. It very common in the southern us to see people addicted to certainty.
I’m going through a tough time with my wife who is currently staying at her parents place with our new born . It’s a confinement of sort where she lives with her mom to recover from child birth … her dad exploded at me and told everyone that I couldn’t lead the family … and started attacking me at every single thing he thought I did wrong, from my dress code to praying… this was the time I also was dealing with a loss of 20k business… and juggling everything to make sure thing was alright… the thing is he yelled at me , in front my my brother and mom …. My mom isn’t the type to sit and keep quiet like I am .. she started questioning him in a heated argument … I was completely deveststed … cuz the blame is still on me.. at the end of the arguements … my wife blames me , everyone on her side blamed me.. and they wanna move on without taking any blame and expect me to make the changes … now I feel so many bonds has been broken, including my wife and I , me and my step son .. and the only one I feel connected is with my new born… ever since then I read so much on trauma bonding and narcissism and wstched you videos .. it gave me a perspective that I’m an internaliser… I stopped responding to my wife’s attacks like ‘ he doesn’t listen me to me’ and ‘you don’t care what I said’ statements .. out of no where … .. their family function so well with the dad being the top of the chain and everyone just submits … but I know while it appear to be functioning .. it’s not me to follow their rules…
I’m rebuilding myself now to create boundaries and finding happiness in other areas of my life .. but I’m afraid the relationship with my wife will never work as long she still pins the blame on me …
There’s no conversation to be had cuz everything I say turns into ammo she use to deflect it back to me ….
Gawsh this is complecsted ….
Excuse me...your in law dad...shaming you and your wife picks his side? She is married to you!
@@dengholm yes it’s complicated when a child gets caught inbetween dad and spouse…
Update: we’ve now moved in together at our own place…
I’m in a much better place since severed my trauma-bonds with everything .. this took hours and hours of mental work …
My wife knows my boundaries and respects my thoughts …
She’s aware that her dad was wrong in certain areas …
My step son knows that his grand dad was wrong …
My wife is more interested in my perspective now..
I made it very clear to everyone in our family circle of my new boundaries …
As I’m typing this my wife is telling me lame jokes ….
My sister in law is sleeping over at our house …
So yes doing the inner work helps a lot !
Release trauma bonds.. set boundaries ..
I studied a great deal on narcissism and correcting my own narcisitic behaviours now …
The journey continues …
Narcs seek validation and hence are dependent on individuals while these people seek recognition and hence are more about what society deems worthy.
I wanna hear it ,but i haven’t gotten that deep. Lol i like truth, hard truth. It makes me realize things need to be healed and changed. Thank you for the hard truth. I could never find a therapist that could help me. Because they just agreed with everything, saying its normal to feel the way i do… well if it was normal I wouldn’t be there , I wouldn’t feel i needed help.
This is soooo true! Ty!🎯💯👏🏽
So true. People these days already have a bond with their kids (or something else). We're just here to 'fill in the blanks'. Have a couple vapid dinners a week followed by sex and that's it. No thank you! I rather stay single than troll through dating sights just to find one of these situationships.
Very true
The codependant victim mentality and never take responsibility feels so lonely.
It just breaks my heart and the family dynamics tell the same story. Thank you for your amazing work🩵
So true about self-victimizing feminists
So much good information here. Very interesting points about the execution of feminism.
Those were my almost exact words for years I would say about us as people in order to grow as society or humanity its a growing process but start 🧐🤔 I was MISGUIDED til now but I tell you when we own the codependency truthfully we will evolve humans
😮😮😮 feeling called out
Overly mature??, oh! Does that mean a person with all these traits that is emotional inmature (although they have a good job and is finantially responsable) is a actually a narcisists???
Great question. I have just created this service where you can type in any question and get the solution you are looking for and it is FREE. Give it a try. ;-) www.sentiyen.com/channels/KennyWeiss
I can't believe others whom I have respect for in this field are not making these distinctions between narcissism and falsely empowered codependants.
Amazing video
I really struggle to see the difference between narcissistic and codependent yet I watched the videos explaining that but I still don’t get it 🤔
So if I’m in a relationship with a falsely empowered codependent… is there anything I can do to help the situation or should I give up and move on?
❤
Oh, this video is about me. The child of an alcoholic and a codependent.
23:02 Do you have any reading references I can dive into on this statement. I am intrigued and want to know more.

Me too
I’m working on getting out of a marriage with someone who meets this description to a T. Any tips or advice for how to navigate this as peacefully as possible? Even slightly triggered, he explodes with nastiness; I’m just trying to hold it together until I can get away. He genuinely thinks he’s doing everything right “now that his eyes are open” - but he is completely out of touch with reality, and I absolutely think it’s shame-based. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you - love your videos!
The beginning description sounds like narcissism.
Sounds like narcissism
Can a falsely empowered codependent use “helping others” (fixing people’s problems ) as a means for control?
yes
I’m not getting your messages today. I deeply love animals and my children were young so I was very involved with them as I was the only participating parent. I was abused severely as a child then in the first marriage 24/7. The ex was involved .01% with them and me living in the same house. No abuse to my children. I am deeply loving to my husband my 2nd marriage of 25 years. Also I’ve kept extremely busy with my children and pets as well making our house our home and I’m a perfectionist. Not clear on this one the first time ever with your teachings. Thank you for your words of wisdom and guidance. Wishing You the Best of Life and Love. Mentioning I’ve been treated like a door mat by way to many people. Just not clear to me.
Hi, I'm not Kenny but I think I understand because I had a little bit of trouble with the part about kids and pets too. I wish he had stated that people can use children and pets in this manner, but not all do. He rightly states though, that the empowered codependent is also in pain. If we are here watching these videos trying to do better, even if we had some of these traits we are healing them and taking responsibility. That is the overarching message I am hearing from him, I hope that helps. I feel and see you in your love for your animals. They are not therapy pets for no reason and when you come from being an unloved child with severely narcissistic or BPD parents, it's how you begin to open up and use the heart that he's talking about, and being interdependent and intimate with another. Step by step!
Wow! Plot twist. I never would have known.. 🤯
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The narcs new supply isnt crossedeyed 23 yrs absent intimacy church faith solid. Yrs month of him stringing love bombed bribes in family maybe
I listen this and i m sure rarely people like you and understaind ypu Kenny. Becauce most people hate true said in face. I am type for true in face. . But most people arent. Humanity is sick couse they handle this true in video. They will rather hate you Kenny
I don't think the obsession with animals is always about power at all. I think if you personally don't feel a connection to animals or the natural world then you might project onto others that it's about power... I wish my animals didn't love me to be honest then I wouldn't feel like I have to worry about their well being so much ... I know that sounds weird. I think I am something like an anxiously attached codependent and I truly truly truly feel my own pain when I see animals or humans suffer at least my perception of suffering but I also hate that feeling of the expectation to be good or giving or for others to return my compassion... The only return I want is for people to give without expectation when they feel a calling to do so...
I do think there probably is something unhealthy and helpful about how I give because I do not always feel like taking care of myself the way I take care of other things, but if I can fill up a hungry stray cats belly for $3 and a little time then I feel accomplished at the end of the day... So to say it's about power and that I need these animals to love me, no, because when they do get attached to me it feels like chains and then I feel like I am required to take care of them... I would give purely anonymously if I could and I do when I can because at the end of the day seeing a creature cat, dog, human, plant go from suffering to content makes me feel content also.
Sure, maybe I am trying to make up for the neglect I experienced in childhood, maybe I'm trying to take care of the adults who suffered around me when I was a child and maybe that's ok because I'm not harming others, I'm trying to help the world, maybe a desire to improve things is grandiose to a point, Not everyone cares about power, maybe somehow my lack of drive for power is also a subconscious ploy for power I'm not sure, all I can say is that that is not at all or even remotely my conscious intention for loving animals or the vulnerable and I'm far far far from perfect, I'm not trying to be perfect I'm just honestly trying to listen to my heart in a world that says over and over the heart is dumb 💜
I was also not raised like the average person in the united states'. I was born homeless basically and grew up quite a bit pooer than the average person in the united States... I moved around alot and lived for periods of time without electricity and running water

Thank you for your work. Its crazy I've been noticing these things you mentioned in the world and family dynamics and I'm so glad someone is finally putting words and meaning to it.
