Many LGBTQ+ people struggle with codependency in relationships, often without realizing it. In this video, we explore what codependency really is, how it shows up in romantic and platonic dynamics, and practical steps for reclaiming your emotional independence.
By understanding how past experiences, rejection, and low self-esteem can influence these dynamics, we can start to set boundaries, trust our intuition, and focus on emotional independence. Learning to detach—mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically—doesn’t mean caring less; it means reclaiming your sense of self and prioritizing your well-being.
