Cycles of Dependency & Toxic Relationships

Are you still struggling in a Toxic Relationship?

Are you being Gaslit and can't seem to stop it from happening?

There is a strong link between codependency and toxic relationships, as codependency often plays a significant role in the dynamics of such relationships.

Here are a few ways they are interconnected:

Codependency Can Enable Toxic Behaviors: In a toxic relationship, one partner may exhibit abusive, controlling, or manipulative behaviors. The codependent person, in an attempt to maintain the relationship or avoid conflict, may enable or tolerate these toxic behaviors, even if they are harmful.

Lack of Boundaries: In toxic relationships, there are often blurred or non-existent boundaries, allowing toxic behaviors to persist. The codependent person may not assert their needs and rights, further enabling the toxic dynamics.

Low Self-Esteem: Codependent individuals often have low self-esteem and may feel unworthy of healthy relationships. This can make them more likely to stay in toxic relationships, as they may believe they don't deserve better or fear being alone.

Fear of Abandonment: Both codependent and toxic relationships often involve a fear of abandonment. In a toxic relationship, this fear can be exploited by the toxic partner to maintain control. The codependent person may endure mistreatment to avoid being abandoned.

Cycles of Dependency: In many toxic relationships, there is a cycle of abuse, apology, and promises of change. The codependent person may cling to the hope that things will get better and that their love and care can fix the toxic partner, perpetuating the cycle.
