Breaking the cycle of codependency. Are you codependent?

I used to be very codependent, and the truth is… I had no idea. I had no idea what it meant. I thought I could fix or save people, I thought I was being a helper, but in fact I was trying to control things outside of my control. I was trying to get people to love me the way I loved them… Here’s how I started my healing path and the steps I took to be really ok with being along, and putting myself first. 1. Educated myself… I read books, did a trauma training, started learning the signs. 2. Learn to set boundaries: It's okay to say "no" to others when it's not in your best interest. 3. Seek professional help: A therapist or counselor can help you work through the underlying issues that may be contributing to your codependency. 4. Surround yourself with positive influences: Spend time with people who encourage and support you. Join a support group. Breaking the cycle of codependency takes time and effort, but it's worth it. Remember, you deserve to be happy and fulfilled. Take the first step today and start on the path to a healthier, happier you.
