Learning Objective

I can differentiate between healthy and co-dependent relationship behaviors.

  • 1

    In a healthy relationship, each partner takes responsibility for their own feelings and does not rely on the other for constant validation.

  • 2

    Codependent relationships often involve an unbalanced level of giving, where one partner sacrifices their own needs and boundaries at their own expense.

  • 3

    A sign of codependency is losing sense of self, which can be combatted by maintaining your own hobbies, interests, and connections outside of the relationship.
