Codependency RecoveryInstead of having a healthy relationship with yourself, PsychCentral said it best when you make something or someone else more important. Over time, your thoughts, feelings, and actions revolve around that other person, activity, or substance, and you increasingly abandon your relationship with yourself. Codependent recovery entails a 180-degree reversal of this pattern in order to reconnect with, honor, and act from your core self. Healing develops the following characteristics: authenticity, autonomy, capability of being intimate, and integrated and congruent values, thoughts, feelings, and actions. It's time for you to be an actor in your life...not a reactor.
