Why Is It So Hard to Set Healthy Boundaries When You Are Codependent

Are you codependent? Were you raised in a dysfunctional family? Were you raised to feel like you needed to hide your true self to avoid punishment or abandonment? In a healthy home, children are raised feeling seen and heard. In unhealthy homes, children are raised to hide their emotions, needs, and wants. Perhaps dad is an alcoholic, and mom is the classic codependent, who sweeps things under the rug. Or, perhaps your family idolized conformity vs authenticity. The key is to understand that, regardless of your parents' intentions, and whether they were aware of the consequences of their parenting style or not, to heal from codependency, abandonment trauma, CPTSD, people pleasing, and low self worth, one must take the time to understand how their inner child perceived how their parents perceived them. In this episode, you will feel like you've been given a warm hug. Lisa A.
