Understanding the Link Between Trauma and Codependency

Codependency doesn’t just “happen” in a relationship. It forms through a long-standing pattern of survival, often rooted in childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or chronic unpredictability.

Eventually, they start dictating how we show up in relationships, often at the cost of ourselves.
