From a YT video I released on codependency - “Codependency and Childhood Trauma”⁠
⠀⁠
We often have a vague assumption about what codependency is, and it's not just needing someone by us for security. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
It's a complex survival strategy that I think stems a lot from childhood trauma. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
It's the types of strategies that help redefine what codependency is. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
On the left we have a care taking type. ⁠
On the right, we have a change others type.⁠
⠀⁠
What unites all codependent types is control, manipulation, poor communication, and low self-esteem. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
In the video, I discuss:⠀⁠
⠀⁠
- how codependency originates in the abusive family system.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
- what strategy did we come up with as children to deal with our parents individually⁠
⠀⁠
- how was codependency modeled in our dysfunctional family system.
