Nine Codependency Behaviors Religious Communities Reward in Christian Women [208]

There’s a lot of confusion surrounding the term “codependency.” Is codependency bad? Am I codependent? How do I know? And what can I do differently if I want to break some of my codependent habits? In this episode, I break down eighteen different codependent thoughts and beliefs that many Christian women are taught. I also explore nine codependent “rules” that abusers and abusive religious communities hold us to that create codependence in us, and then I systematically explain why they are flawed and how we can change our thoughts surrounding them.We are not stuck in codependency. Let’s learn how to break free from the rules and regulations that keep us in codependent cycles.Key Points From This Episode:Eighteen codependent behaviors or beliefs, and how I have related to them in the past (and why you might, too)Nine crazy codependent rules that oppressive systems force on their victimsWhy those rules are flawed and how to think about them through a different lensWhy we shouldn’t beat ourselves up if we find ourselves stuck in codependenceAccess the transcript, read the show notes, and/or ask Natalie a question here If you are a Christian woman who thinks you may be in an emotionally destructive marriage, learn more at https://flyingfreenow.comI'll send you (free!) the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
