Does Approval Equal Permission For You?

Does Approval Equal Permission For You?Codependency has our authority and personal power attached to other people's perspectives, feelings, and ultimately their approval and rejection responses.This is why we often fixate on and try to control someone's approval of us.  We believe it grants us permission for certain things.This permission can pertain to one's worth (I'm worthy because they love me).  It can pertain to permission to do or have certain things (They like this, so it is safe for me to have).This is an externalization of our power and a centering of the other person in our personal power.  They become the authority.To heal and be free of codependency, we must liberate our power by taking ownership of it.Learn how I do this in today's episode.***Seeking help in healing codependency?
