Codependency is a Key Feature of Unresolved Abandonment

HUNTINGTON, N.Y. - Jan. 27, 2024 - PRLog -- - Codependency is all about ...

- People pleasing
- Being over-responsive to others' needs
- Sacrificing your own needs
- Giving more than you get
- Difficulty setting boundaries
- Getting into emotionally non-mutual relationships

Codependency is fueled by primal abandonment fear and hidden shame – the need to serve others to be of any value – the shame of feeling unworthy of being kept on your own merit.

People with codependency tend to struggle with other aspects of unresolved abandonment, i.e.

- Low self-esteem
- Insecurity interfering in establishing healthy lasting relationships
- Self-defeating patterns
- Tendency toward addictive / compulsive behaviors including love addiction, alcohol, overeating

How to Overcome Codependency?

People with long-standing abandonment issues (like codependency) can benefit by engaging in abandonment recovery on an ongoing basis – being in abandonment recovery, one day at a time.

The program's five Akeru exercises heal the underlying abandonment wound, not by a single application, but by incorporating the tools into your daily life long term.

You can begin abandonment recovery at any time, and it's never too late to start – even in your 80's or 90's. The program brings light, inspiration, and hope to your daily life.

Abandonment recovery is most effective in a people-helping-people setting where you can connect to others through sharing and peer support.

Is Ongoing Support Available?

You can set up your own ongoing abandonment recovery support groups. The Abandonment Recovery Workbook (Abandonment.net) offers 50 topic questions and an easy to follow peer format to keep your groups going for a year or more.

There have been hundreds of these groups established throughout the world, but we need many more thousands of them, so that they can be available in every community.
