Do you struggle with saying "no"? Are you constantly trying to please others to avoid upsetting them? If so, you may be dealing with codependency issues. In this video, we explore the complex patterns of codependency and provide you with five crucial steps to break free and reclaim your independence.

Codependency can profoundly affect our relationships and overall well-being, trapping us in a cycle of seeking approval and validation from others. In this video, we delve into the common codependency patterns such as enabling, caretaking, people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, difficulty with intimacy, low self-esteem, and denial/avoidance.

But fear not, for there is hope and a path to liberation. Inspired by Melody Beattie's groundbreaking book "Codependent No More," we guide you through the following steps:

1. Recognize and Understand Codependency: Learn to identify the symptoms of codependency and gain awareness of how it affects your life.

2. Cultivate Self-Awareness: Explore your needs, desires, and values to prioritize your well-being and build a stronger sense of self.

3. Establish Healthy Boundaries: Set clear and assertive boundaries, communicating your needs and limitations to maintain healthy relationships.

4. Focus on Self-Care: Practice self-care and engage in activities that bring you joy, relaxation, and fulfillment.

5. Seek Support and Professional Help: Reach out to trusted friends, family, or support groups, and consider working with a therapist or counselor specializing in codependency.
