Themes: Codependency & Narcissism
Every pattern has a beginning — and the moment you see it clearly, you can choose a different path.
Understanding your past is the key to true freedom.
What you feel today — in your relationships, boundaries, or sense of self — rarely comes out of nowhere.
Many of these patterns were born in childhood, at the very moment you learned that love had to be earned.
On this page, you’ll find key themes that reach into the very core of codependency:
-
The influence of your inner child and nervous system
-
The hidden dynamics between codependents and narcissists
-
How trauma shapes your body, your choices, and your relationships
Each theme is an invitation — not just to understand, but to truly break free from what has kept you small.
