Codependency
Codependency is defined as the psychological condition or relationship in which a person is controlled or manipulated by another who is affected with a pathlogical condition. A dependence on the needs of or control by another. As a therapist, talk therapy is something I always found very helpful with integration of other forms of expressions, such as Art, Music, Dance, Poetry, Writing, Movement. To model the different ways of expressing thought below I decided to share a poem I wrote on Codependency.
Codependency.
Darkness is hanging over me.
Heaviness,
I need to shed.
Emotionally you drew me in,
I dove to deep & now I can’t come out.
Drowning in Insecurity & Anxiety.
Looking for a life raft to rescue me?
I can’t see clearly,
So desperate to connect.
Am I being played by vulnerability?
Taking on your pain,
Can’t be present to what is right in front of me.
People who love themselves,
Would not let this dark energy take control.
Please let me heal now.
Codependency yet again,
Has taken it’s emotional toll.
