Psychology Codependency

Pia Mellody creates a framework for identifying codependent thinking, emotions and behaviour and provides an effective approach to recovery. Mellody sets forth five primary adult symptoms of this crippling condition, then traces their origin to emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical and sexual abuses that occur in childhood. Central to Mellody's approach is the concept that the codependent adult's injured inner child needs healing.

For years, I struggled in romantic relationships—trapped in people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and emotional disconnection. I didn’t know how to set boundaries, communicate honestly, or feel safe being myself. Like many people living with the effects of relational trauma, I was stuck in survival mode—longing for intimacy but afraid to be truly seen.

Have you ever heard of your inner child? Well, this is the classic book that started it all. In 1987, Charlie Whitfield's breakthrough concept of the child within - that part of us which is truly alive, energetic, creative. and fulfilled - launched the inner child movement. Healing the Child Within describes how the inner child is lost to trauma and loss, and how by recovering it, we can heal the fear, confusion and unhappiness of adult life.

Most people give so much importance to their relationships, whether it's with their family, significant other, friends, or co-workers. Relationships bring people either the greatest joys or the greatest challenges in their lives. One of the greatest challenges in any relationship is codependency - that feeling of not being able to exist without the other person. Most romantic relationships fall prey to this kind of challenge. In most relationships, one's existence and validation is needed for the other person to feel happy and complete.

Since the dawn of civilization, men and women have been magnetically and irresistibly drawn together into romantic relationships, not so much by what they see, feel and think, but more by invisible forces. When individuals with healthy emotional backgrounds meet, the irresistible love force creates a sustainable, reciprocal and stable relationship. Codependents and emotional manipulators are similarly enveloped in a seductive dreamlike state; however, it will later unfold into a painful seesaw of love, pain, hope and disappointment.

In Love Is a Choice, best-selling doctors Robert Hemfelt, Frank Minirth, and Paul Meier walk you through their 10 proven stages to recovery from codependency that results from external circumstances. Humans are susceptible to codependency because of our sinful tendency to use defense mechanisms to fool ourselves. In codependent relationships, deceitful games are played, and important Christian principles are often taken out of context and abused.

Basada en su experiencia personal, Melody Beattie dice que, “una persona codependiente es aquella que ha permitido que la conducta de otras personas la afecte, y que además, se obsesiona con controlar la conducta de otras personas.”

Growing up in a home where there is addiction or relationship trauma puts a child at great risk for long-term, post-traumatic stress effects that adversely compromise adult relationships. Best-selling author, psychologist, and psychodramatist Tian Dayton examines this trauma through an exploration of the way the brain and body process frightening or painful emotions and experiences in childhood.

Most people don't realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don't know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions. These patterns often stem from their lost inner child, which carries a false narrative that has been on repeat since childhood.

Do you love someone with an addiction? Are you hurting, overwhelmed, or losing yourself while trying to save them? If so—you’re not alone. Loving someone in active addiction can feel like living in a storm you never asked to enter. You may be desperate for answers, scrambling to keep life together, or trapped in the emotional rollercoaster of someone else’s destructive behaviour. Watching someone you love disappear into addiction is heartbreaking—like mourning a person who is still alive. But here’s the truth: Their addiction is harming you, too. You have the right to reclaim your...
