Breaking Free: Unraveling Codependency with Your Past Self
Show Notes

Embark on a transformative journey as we delve into the intricate dynamics of our relationships—with ourselves. Discover the profound impact of codependency on your past, present, and future self.

Today's focus is on codependency, not in the context of external relationships, but within the intricate web of our own existence.

We dissect the three players in your relationship with yourself: the past self, a repository of nostalgia and insights; the ever-transforming current self; and the visionary future self. Unveil the connection between them and understand that your future self thrives on a healthy relationship between the past and present.

Dive into the definition of codependency in the context of self-relationships, exploring the patterns and characteristics shaped by childhood experiences. Uncover the persona, 'shoulds' and the self-critical tendencies that contribute to low self-esteem. Recognize the need for control, caretaking, and the victim state that perpetuates cycles of dependency.

But fear not, as we present a solution: releasing codependency for a co-creative relationship with your past self. Learn the art of making her feel safe, addressing rejection, judgment, and abuse, and finally, allowing her to play her part in the co-creation of your future self.

Join us on this liberating journey from codependency to empowerment. Share in the revelations, resonate with the insights, and take the first step towards unlocking your true potential. Don't miss this episode that promises a roadmap to self-liberation and a profound shift in your relationship with your past, present, and future self.
