Healing from codependency

I've been on a journey of healing from codependency.
Borrowing the definition by Patrick Teahan, "Codependency is an old surviving mechanism of trying to make the impossible work by avoiding grief and pain." For a deeper understanding, you can watch Patrick's video on codependency: • Codependency and Child... .
In this video, I reflect on my process of making decisions that are authentic to myself-learning to honour my needs and values without abandoning myself in search of validation or reassurance from others.
Healing from childhood trauma is not easy. Some days I feel like I am making great progress, and some days I feel like I am talking multiple steps back. But healing is possible, and the path can be simpler than it seems. You are not alone on this journey. Wherever you are in your journey, many others are walking this path of healing alongside you.
Thank you for being a part of this community and for giving me the opportunity to share my reflections and growth with you. I am grateful!
With love,
