Codependency has been a big buzzword in the mental health community lately and as a result, there’s a lot of information (and confusion) about this word. Usually when I talk about codependency, I’m referring to the act of caretaking for another person to the point where it’s at the expense of your own mental, emotional, and physical health. Codependency can be toxic because we are not only hurting ourselves, but also our loved ones. However, in a long term relationship, deve...loping a healthy attachment and a healthy dependency is perfectly normal, so don’t confuse healthy dependency with the negative connotation of codependency! It’s important to be able to tell the difference between a kind of dependency in your relationships that takes energy away from you (toxic) and a dependency that gives you energy (healthy). The whole idea of a relationship in the first place is that we are wired to connect to other people, and that we have the capacity to regulate ourselves and our partners wellbeing. Key components of a healthy attachment include a partnership that is reliable, consistent, responsive, and attuned to each other’s needs. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthtips #emotionalwellbeing #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthhelp #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthadvocacy #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthadvocate #psychologistsofinstagram #therapistsofinstagram #emotionalwellbeing #counselorsofinstagram #rootrisetherapyla #losangelestherapy #therapy #relax #mindfulness #selfcare #counseling #peace #letgo #anxiety #anxietyrelief #anxietyawareness #anxietysupport #selfcaretips #codependency #vulnerability

Do you have an image in your mind of a courageous or brave person? You might think of a person who is never afraid of anything, a risk-taker, or an adventurer. But courage and bravery has more sides to it than just that. Courage is being afraid of something, but doing it anyway. Courage is stepping outside of your comfort zone and occupying that space of discomfort. ... Courage is setting a boundary with a loved one even if you are afraid that they will be offended. #courage #mentalhealthisimportant #psychologyquotes #mentalhealthadvocate #psychologistsofinstagram #mentalhealthmatters #therapistsofinstagram #copingstrategies #clinicalpsychologist #emotionalwellbeing #emotionalwellbeing #counselingpsychology #clinicalpsychology #mentalhealthprofessionals #mentalhealthsupport #psychotherapist #counseling #mentalhealthcommunity #mentalhealth #counselorsofinstagram #mentalhealthhelp #losangelestherapy #mentalillnessawareness #rootrisetherapyla #mentalhealthtips #mentalhealthadvocacy #healthyandhappy #psychologist
