“If you’re not ‘doing’ for others, how do you feel about yourself? Are you able to validate your own worth?” – Terri Cole
Intro
Do you think you’re codependent? Or are you unsure?
In this post, I’m going to walk you through nine questions to help you understand, pretty conclusively, if you are a high-functioning codependent.
I want you to walk away with a clear snapshot of your own codependent behaviors. And I want to be clear: this is a no-judgment zone. If we get really judgmental, we’re not going to look at what we need to look at. If we let shame dictate what we examine, we’ll stay in denial. And then nothing changes.
You deserve to create relationships, lives, and careers that thrill and fulfill you. So let’s look honestly at where you are.
Highlights:
- 4:00 Do you behave as if your partner’s needs are more important than yours?
- 6:00 Is it hard for you to express your needs and preferences?
- 13:30 Is it difficult to separate your identity and feeling state from your partner’s?
- 15:10 Are you afraid of rejection and abandonment?
- 19:50 Remembering that your most important relationship is with yourself
