CONfused, DRAINED, or ALONE in your relationships? Putting the needs of others before your own? Are you changing yourself (like a chameleon) to feel appreciated? If the other person becomes your main focus and you modify your behaviors and subjugate your needs to keep the relationship going at any cost, you have codependency. Codependent people are MAGNETS for Arrogant, Narcissistic personalities. These relationships can stumble along for a long time, requiring huge amounts of effort and energy to sustain until they finally collapse. When that happens, feelings of betrayal and abandonment (codependent's biggest fear) can take over.

Do you long to feel truly seen and supported? I know what it’s like to hold everything together on the outside while quietly falling apart inside. In early adulthood, I went through a period of burnout and emotional overwhelm—and it wasn’t until I connected with someone who truly listened that things began to shift. As a Pre-Licensed Professional and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I now offer that same compassionate presence to others.
