How Chronic Codependency Changes A Person
Co-dependency, and your brain
Hoffman gave some examples of unhealthy thought patterns that can occur when someone is consistently in co-dependent relationships. “Fixed limiting beliefs about the future are common. [For example] ‘I’m not sure I could find anyone else’ or ‘I don’t know how I could live without this person.’ Anything that keeps you paralyzed and unable to develop a growth or change mindset could mean you are stuck in a co-dependent situation. Also if you find yourself lacking happiness in other areas of your life and only feeling fulfilled when you are in service to the other person, that could be a warning sign.”
