It’s how we learn to get love

Humans are so easily influenced when they’re children – they’re still forming their ideas about the world and how to function. So they can carry these “lessons” about how to gain love, into adult relationships. As Francis puts it, “We start to believe that our codependent strategies are necessary to get the rewards we seek or the connections we need to feel loved and worthy. This is how our behavior can lead to a pattern of thinking that can get us wrapped up in a cycle of codependent relationships.”
