If you’re feeling trapped in a cycle of constantly seeking validation and approval from others, only to end up feeling empty and unfulfilled, then you are not alone! Many individuals find themselves caught in codependent patterns, where their sense of self-worth is dependent on the opinions and actions of others. Despite their efforts to please and accommodate, they often find that their relationships lack true reciprocity and emotional intimacy. Instead of experiencing the healthy interdependence they crave, they are left feeling emotionally drained and disconnected.
