    • Close Codependency

      I have ben codependent all my life, I just didn't realize to what extent. I am finally reading enough to understand how it works for me. I have a long way to go, but I'm beginning to find the triggers, I'm learning which habits to break. I thought boundaries were to keep others in line; in fact, the boundaries I need to set are to keep me from continuing to hurt me. I guess it's about awareness of the unconscious habits codependent's have. So far, so good.

      Treatments

      CoDA Not Working
      Didn't work for me. I needed information on the behaviors and thought processes.
      Music Working / Worked
      Classical, Yanni, and some of John Tesch have a tendency to calm me, soothe me.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Codependent No More, The Highly Sensitive Person, The Introvert Advantage, The Disease To Please, The Artist's Way; many more
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking with friends to get feedback of my feeling epiphanies.
    • Close Shyness

      I'm doing research on myself about this. I know I'm an Introvert, and possibly suffer from social Phobia. I just read a cited message from my codependency support group that suggested this site existed, so I joined.
