About codependency
- when caring becomes a compulsion
Codependency is a compulsive disorder that can lead to an individual developing an unhealthy reliance on people or things for their emotional needs. Originally, the term ‘codependent’ as used to describe partners who were in a relationship with, a person suffering from addiction. Similar patterns can exist in relationships with individuals who are chronically ill. However, the term has now broadened to describe any codependent person. ‘Codependents’ always have good intentions. They may try to care for a person who is experiencing difficulties, but their care becomes self-defeating as it only enables destructive behavior to continue.
Symptoms and effects of codependency
Codependency is a learned behavior that can be passed from one generation to the next in dysfunctional families. Suffering from fear, anger, pain or shame, which is ignored or denied is an outcome of the disorder. Underlying issues may also include physical, emotional or sexual abuse. However, with the help and support of qualified professionals and clinical experts, it is possible to overcome codependency.
The most common symptoms of codependency
