Women's Codependency Open-Share Group

Co-dependency is when a person’s need for approval or validation from another person allows them to be controlled or manipulated, or a person who attempts to manipulate or control someone. They are willing to compromise their values, choices, and behavior at the expense of their well-being.

 CHARACTERISTICS:

1. You assume responsibility or feel guilty for other’s feelings and behaviors.

2. Have difficulty identifying or expressing your feelings, minimizing or denying how you feel.

3. Worry about other’s responses to your feelings opinions or behaviors, valuing other’s opinions and feelings more than your own.

4. Anxiety in saying “NO” or fear of expression, being hurt or rejected, compromising your beliefs, values, and integrity to avoid rejection or anger.

This support group will allow you the time to discuss your struggles and learn how to live a balanced life where self-care and taking responsibility for your own health and well-being take priority over the addictive behavior and control of others. As well as how to help others in suitable ways without rescuing or fixing.

Learn to recognize and enforce healthy boundaries that establish where we end and another person begins, and not allow others to compromise those boundaries.

Accepting and walking in biblical truth that our identity and value are who we are in Christ.
