Codependency can feel suffocating and draining within our relationships.

A few of the ways it can show up include:

😓 Partners who over-rely on you for emotional support and sound-boarding

😵‍💫 Family members who demand you sacrifice your needs for them

🫳 Colleagues who need approval and hand-holding from you when making decisions

Codependency refers to an imbalanced relationship pattern. In this pattern, one person assumes responsibility for meeting another person’s needs to the exclusion of acknowledging their own needs or feelings. These patterns can especially show up in romantic relationships given the intimacy.

While there are many signs for codependency, we will be covering the patterns that were most apparent for us in our relationships. This session might be for you if you are a person who tends to:

🪢 Be over-reliant on someone for emotional support

🙅‍♂️ Avoid conflict at all costs to keep the peace in a relationship

🫥 Lose your sense of self in a relationship due to of lack of boundaries

Relational dynamics facilitators, Kevin Do and Stephanie Tran will unpack these themes in this Brave Conversations session. We’ll specifically explore:

❤️‍🔥 Past relationship patterns: our unique combination of habits that fueled codependency

❤️‍🔥 How we attempted to break them: the individual work and requests made to each other for support

❤️‍🔥 Tools for relating: Heartbreak over Harmony, a principle by Relating Between the Lines

It’s safe to say that Kevin and Stephanie’s Asian experience has lots of complexity, and while their experience isn’t representative of all Asian cultures, their intention is to create a space to normalize having conversations about these themes.
