Lifting the veil
I have said before that my therapist is simply great. I had an appointment yesterday and before I went, I just wasn't in the sharing mood or mindset. That appointment was the most ground breaking one I have had thus far. We began to talk about why I am so frighteningly codependent. Yes, it was uncomfortable, but it was so cathartic at the same time. I have always known that I come from a rather love-less household, but didn't realize that it had made me hold so tightly to people to avoid losing the attention and the comfort I crave. I realized that I literally have zero fear of my husband leaving, I am really afraid that I will leave him and then never see happiness again. This was really a surprise to me.
It took me a long time to finally get the courage to start seeing a therapist, but it is definitely the best decision I made in years. I cried my eyes out yesterday and it was so unexpected. It feels good to really start the journey that will lead me to conquering my codependent ways. I am so grateful for the help.

Glad to hear you've got a great therapist. Therapy was a huge help for me. Through therapy and Nar-Anon (I needed a LOT of help..lol) I was able to conquer my fears. It was very eye opening to discovery how fearful I was and how it shaped my behaviors and attitudes!
A good therapist is worth their weight in gold.

Thanks for sharing Grateful6982.
I ecco the words of Kindeyes through therapy and Nar-Anon I too have broken the chains of codependency.
I found working the steps help to ground me and find myself again.
