Codependency is a word we often view as something that is negative and needs to be eliminated. My understanding of codependency is that it is a result of a gift of ours that we overuse. That is the gift of being an Empath. As empaths we feel, identify and can even feel responsible for the emotional well-being of others. This is a gift we use to intuitively know what others need in order to break free from their old wounds. However, this gift becomes a doubled edged sword when we don't turn it off and drain ourselves dry because of it. When we are always using are empathic gifts with others we place no priority in serving and taking care of ourselves. Taking care of ourselves is the foundation to which we can help others. Enjoy this week's episode on how to accept our gift of empathy and yet manage it so it doesn't drain us dry.
