Dr. Stan Tatkin: “The purpose of a relationship is fundamentally grounded in safety and security: not love, not attraction, not romance. If you’re not providing that need to ensure each other’s sense of #safety and #security, it defies the whole psychobiological purpose of being with another person.”

After doing the work in #therapy to recognize #codependence, #anxiety, #depression, and bad #copingmechanisms, is anyone else out there #triggered just by being around folks who haven’t done the work?

Just got so frustrated with my over bearing, codependent mother-in-law for not listening to my husband and I and she had the nerve to tell me I needed to calm down. The #gaslighting will not be tolerated. No ma’am.

Hi, All!

I wonder if you would be willing to share any insights or experiences you might have navigating the following (boosts appreciated)

1. #Codependence / enmeshment within a romantic partnership and the resulting loss of self / self knowledge / being in touch with your own desires

2. Navigating partnership in which one person is dealing with chronic #disability

Thanks!

I'm trying so hard to work my way through The Artist's Way right now. *So hard*.

But I also have a ton of responsibilities to people who genuinely need support, plus it's the holidays and that's always stressful, plus this entire year has been a flaming shit dumpster, plus I have a deep-seated need to feel like a good person by sacrificing myself for others (apparently).

So that's all going great. 💀

Symptoms of #Codependence

Secondary symptoms of codependence, since each results from one or more of the primary or core symptoms of the disease.
While the primary symptoms affect codependents internally, the secondary symptoms sabotage and affect their relationships with others.

How the Symptoms #Sabotage

*Negative control: we give ourselves permission to determine someone else’s reality for our own comfort.
