Who me? Codependent?
What better way to make the first dip into blog-land than to do so with a confession. I confess: For years, whenever I heard the word codependence, I cringed. I didn't want to look at it and avoided all who portrayed what I figured to be its stereotype: helpless, begging to be liked. You see I was, or at least I imagined I was independent, hard working, selfless and in control. So, it is somewhat ironic that I should not only be leading/coaching and counseling women and writing a blog with an emphasis on relationships, and Codependency has a lot to do with difficult relationships. Moreover, in the last few years, I have grown because I've had to learn more about it to teach and coach around it. The bottom line is that as much as I avoided the idea of associating with “codependents”, I was as much codependent as those I coached/counseled in the following aspects; I wanted to be loved, validated and accepted as much as they do. My methods were just more socially acceptable.What I hope to do with this blog is to shine a light on this most human of conditions. With (ir)regular submissions I plan to illuminate how accepting and appreciating codependence as a response to childhood needs is a stepping stone to reclaiming our Freedom and God given identity. Welcome to my blog.
