RELATIONSHIP DEPENDENCY

The questions that triggered the topic tonight was:

"How will you control your feelings to someone that you really care about but does not feel the same way about you?"

Co-dependency is a learned behavior that can be passed down from one generation to another. It is an emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individual’s ability to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship. It is also known as “relationship addiction” because people with codependency often form or maintain relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive and/or abusive. The disorder was first identified about ten years ago as the result of years of studying interpersonal relationships in families of alcoholics. Co-dependent behavior is learned by watching and imitating other family members who display this type of behavior.

The term "emotional independence" may appear to be contradictory to the human experience and tendency to be drawn emotionally to other people. Despite this, a certain level of emotional independence is a necessary component.

With all that being said we are going to talk about how to help to recognize our dependency and how to over come it.  Let's help each other out.  We can make it exciting and maybe we can also talk about sex dependency.  It is No filters.

Talk to you at at 8pm tonight
