This is and does tend to be a learned behavior that turns into an addiction - When one becomes emotionally attached to someone so much and rely on them for monetary and physical support to the forsaking of anyone else as well. In hypnotherapy the client is helped by reframing and learning the new behavior of INDEPENDENCE -
Codependency is a tough habit to break. It is typically paired with a desire to help others, but we can become so consumed with someone elses life that we completely lose sight of our own. This can impact our ability to care for ourselves. This can impact our relationships with others. Getting help from a trained professional can offer some tools and self-insight that will help to break off the unhealthy parts of this habit, while still maintaining the parts of helping and supporting others that our clients enjoy.
Having recovered from codependency myself I understand intimately the difficulties that come with issue. I have learned what drives this issue and how to correct it.
