What is codependency? [ Ссылка ]. In this video Andrea Cairella, LPCC in Long Beach, CA covers what is codependency, what is a codependent & codependent relationships.

Come on over to [ Ссылка ] where the main discussion happens after the episode.

What is codependency? And what are codependent relationships? In today's episode you will learn what is codependency, what is a codependent and how to recognize the negative patterns of codependent relationships.

1. What is Co-dependency? Co-dependency also known as "relationship addiction" or "love addiction" is a learned behavior that can be passed down from one generation to another where either addictive or abusive behaviors were present, a codependent relationship was modeled, mental illness existed or other types of family dysfunction (i.e. family members learn to deny, ignore, avoid and repress difficult emotions and disregard their own needs).

2. Codependency in relationships- As a result, codependents often form or maintain relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive and/or abusive. The co-dependent person typically sacrifices his or her needs to take care of a person who appears vulnerable.

3. What is a co-dependent?- Those who suffer from codependency find it hard to "be themselves," try to feel better through compulsive behaviors, are attracted to other co-dependents who need them, have a compelling need to control others, experience a lack of trust in self and/or others, have a fear of being alone or abandoned, have difficulty identifying feelings, experience problems with intimacy/boundaries
