Episode Introduction:  It's time to recognize and fix your co-dependent patterns. Tune in to learn how!   Episode Summary:  In this week's episode of the Rise Station Podcast, we're talking all about co-dependency.    We cover everything right from comparing the similar behavioral patterns between co-dependent individuals and narcissists to discussing signs of co-dependency.    We then discuss the 3 stages of co-dependency in detail and conclude the episode with recommendations on how to break the cycle of being co-dependent.   Rise Tribe Takeaways:   A co-dependent relationship often begins with one person putting their partner's needs over their own needs, interests, and overall independence.   Co-dependency and narcissism are two sides of the same coin.   Similarities between co-dependent people and narcissists: Their emotional needs were neglected as a child. They are emotionally unavailable. They have poor self-concept. They are dependent on external validation. They operate from a zone of shame and guilt.   Signs of Co-dependency: Self-sacrifice. A desire to control one's partner. The constant inclination to focus on others. Difficulty identifying and expressing feelings. Valuing the approval of a loved one over their own self-acceptance. Being loyal to a fault. Avoiding rejection by jeopardizing one's own values. Refusing to compromise. Taking on one's partner's feelings as if they were their own. Becoming resentful when someone doesn't accept one's help.   3 Stages of Co-dependency: The Consumption Stage The Self-Abandonment Stage The Self-Rejection Stage   How to break the cycle of co-dependency: Seek couple's therapy.
