Emotional Codependency and Childhood Wounds
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Emotional codependency describes a relationship pattern in which a person bases their well-being and their identity on caring for or pleasing another, often neglecting their own needs; it is usually linked to childhood experiences and wounds.
How it may show up: difficulty setting boundaries, intense fear of abandonment, a constant need for approval, and relationships that cause distress but are difficult to leave.
Where it comes from: it is often related to early experiences and bonds formed during upbringing.
Who can support this process? The psychologist offers a space to explore these patterns and work on self-knowledge. Taking the step of asking for professional support is a valuable way to care for your emotional health.
