Does Approval Equal Permission For You?

Codependency has our authority and personal power attached to other people's perspectives, feelings, and ultimately their approval and rejection responses.

This is why we often fixate on and try to control someone's approval of us. We believe it grants us permission for certain things.

This permission can pertain to one's worth (I'm worthy because they love me). It can pertain to permission to do or have certain things (They like this, so it is safe for me to have).

This is an externalization of our power and a centering of the other person in our personal power. They become the authority.

To heal and be free of codependency, we must liberate our power by taking ownership of it.

Learn how I do this in today's episode.

[The Essential Codependency Healing Trainings Starts March 12, 2023]

This LIVE 8-week training is for codependents, people-pleasers, and perfectionists that:

• Feel like there's something crucial they're missing in their healing work
• Are stuck in a circle of relapse and "trying to not be codependent"
• Feel lost and frustrated not knowing what to do to get real peace and healing

There are 8 necessary factors that create lasting healing and freedom from codependency:

• Safety
• Sanity
• Personal Sovereignty
• Trust Yourself
• Know Yourself
• Love Yourself
• Be Yourself
• Share Yourself

I will be teaching the essential skills and knowledge in each of these factors starting March 12, 2023 in my 8-week course, "The Essential Codependency Healing Trainings".

This includes:

• Origin of Codependency & Nervous System Care
• Capacity & Emotional Care
• Foundations of Personal Power
• Foundations of Self-Trust
• Fantasy and Reality
• Foundations of Worth
• Foundations of Knowing Yourself
• Detecting Safe People & Building Resources

These eight trainings give you the crucial knowledge, tools, and practices needed to transition your codependent habits into healthy relating habits that create well-being, peace, and happiness FOR YOU.

You'll be empowered to create these results because:

• You'll be able to identify and neutralize your codependent fantasies and connect with reality
• You'll be able to soothe and care for your anxiety, pain, grief, and other emotions
• You'll be cultivating trust in yourself
• You'll be discovering your real worth
• You'll be starting to really know and distinguish yourself from others
• You'll be able to detect and build connection with safe people

Students that have learned these skills report:

• Feeling big relief from trying so hard to fix themselves
• More confidence in being able to acknowledge what they feel, what is happening, and act from that knowledge
• More peace because they can see what is really happening
• Relief because they know what to do instead of their codependency!
