Codependent Relationships Series 1 - This dance of Codependence
is a dance of dysfunctional relationships - of relationships that
do not work to meet our needs. That does not mean just romantic relationships,

Part One
-
In our disease defense system we build up huge walls to protect ourselves
and then - as soon as we meet someone who will help us to repeat our
patterns of abuse, abandonment, betrayal, and/or deprivation - we
lower the drawbridge and invite them in. By

Two - As long as we believe that someone
else has the power to make us happy then we are setting ourselves
up to be victims" One of the biggest problems with relationships
in this society is that the context we approach them from is too small.
We were taught that getting the relationship is the goal. By

Three - “I spent most of my life doing the
Serenity prayer backwards, that is, trying to change the external
things over which I had no control - other people and life events
mostly - and taking no responsibility (except shaming and blaming
myself) for my own internal process - over which I can have some degree
of control. Having some control is not a bad thing; trying to control
something or somebody over which I have no control is what is dysfunctional.”

and Victimization - the power of choice - "And
we always have a choice. If someone sticks a gun in my face and says,
"Your money or your life!" I have a choice. I may not like my choice
but I have one. In life we often don't like our choices because we
don't know what the outcome is going to be and we are terrified of
doing it 'wrong.' By

Personal Boundaries - protecting self -
"The purpose of having boundaries is to protect and take care of ourselves.
We need to be able to tell other people when they are acting in ways
that are not acceptable to us. A first step is starting to know that
we have a right to protect and defend ourselves. That we have not
only the right, but the duty to take responsibility for how we allow
others to treat us." By

Romantic Relationships - Interdependent,
not codependent
Part 1- "A healthy romantic relationship is based on interdependence.
Codependence and interdependence are two very different dynamics.
Codependence is about giving away power over our self-esteem Interdependence
is about making allies, forming partnerships. It is about forming
connections with other beings. Interdependence means that we give
someone else some power over our welfare and our feelings."

Relationships - Partners in the Journey Part 4.
If we expect
a romantic relationship to "fix" us so that we can live happily-ever-after
then we are setting ourselves up to be victims. If we define a successful
relationship as one that lasts forever and meets all of our needs,
then we will end up blaming ourselves or the other person when that
insane expectation is not met

Relationships - Romantic Love as a Concept - Part 6 In
order to have healthier romantic relationships it is very important
to examine our concept of romantic love. If we do not have a healthy
concept - realistic definitions and beliefs about - romantic love,
then we do not have much chance of having a healthy relationship.
If our concept of romance is based on the fairy tales and books, songs
and movies, from our childhood's, then we are set up to be disappointed
in our romantic relationships." By

attention to what they are telling you. Watch and listen - this is

starvation for nurturing and touch - blind you to the red flags the
other person is waving before you." By
