Codependence Support Group
A lot of being healthy with yourself and others means you have dealt with and are in recovery from codependence, which Doctor Becky believes 95 percent or more people suffer from. Codependence is a huge problem in marriage and relationships, and individuals cannot be relational in a healthy way without facing their symptoms and going into recovery. Codependence begins when we take on shame in our childhood … the feeling that I am not good enough, I am defective, there is something wrong with me. Another way it can grab us is by being falsely told that we are the best, better than others, or in a different league from others. Whichever way it shows up for you, the best thing you could ever do for yourself is to understand it and dive into recover. Doctor Becky highly recommends the book Pia Mellody wrote called “Facing Codependence,” as a good first place to start. All of Mellody’s books are recommended, as are the books on shame by author John Bradshaw. Let’s get to reading and understanding, and lean on this group for support in your recover process!

How bad is my relationship?
