We're begging you, please don’t self-diagnose from memes on the internet... Especially not codependency, because, heads up, codependency isn’t even a diagnosis!! This week Maryellen talks all about codependency and rewrites some “inspirational” quotes to reflect the truth: 

• What do people mean when they say "codependent"?


• Codependency originated from alcoholics anonymous 


• Popularized with romantic relationships, but can be in all types of relationships 


• Unhealthy relationship dynamics don’t automatically make the relationship codependent 


• Ask yourself: does the power dynamic in this relationship feel equal?   


• The good news? We can change unhealthy relationship dynamics! 


• If you're suffering from abuse in your life, please call for support
