Codependency (CD) and Emotional Dependency (ED) can cause a lot of distress in our relationships.
The unhealthy dynamics in these relationships may hinder us from being emotionally healthy and prevent us from cultivating a secure sense of self or a secure attachment style.
If you feel like you have issues with codependency or emotional dependency, have lots of compassion for yourself. There are good reasons why.
As a recovered codependent myself, I had experienced the negative impacts codependency, and I have also witnessed the pain of many I journeyed with, who struggled with CD & ED. I realised how important this topic is & I'm really excited to share with you what I have learnt that has been helpful in overcoming CD & ED for those of you who are desiring growth and change.
Overcoming CD & ED is totally possible! Just as you can change your attachment styles from insecure to secure, it is possible to also learn how to heal from the root causes of CD & ED, and learn skills to help you cultivate healthy & fulfilling relationships.
We hope this new series will be helpful to you & many out there!

No man is an island. We are all created and wired for social connections as human beings. This is why relationships affect our mental health and emotional well-being so much. Yet perhaps many of us don’t seem to do very well in the area of relationships.
Hurt people hurt people. If we have not healed from past hurts in relationships, it may sometimes affect our ability to trust people and build meaningful relationships. Another factor that may affect our ability to build good relationships is our attachment styles and that is being developed in our childhood.
This is one topic I'm passionate about so I really hope you will enjoy this series, and I hope our content will help you understand your attachment styles better, so you can grow in how you relate with others and enjoy your relationships even more!
With Love,
