Episode 82: A Conversation on Dependency and Co-Dependency

Dependent Personality Disorder or DPD sufferers feel the constant need to be taken care of and tend to be very clingy to the point of debilitation when faced with being alone or making decisions for themselves. 
A Co- Dependent relationship becomes unhealthy when someone gains an addiction to taking care of another person and fulfilling that person’s every need or want, and when the other’s opinion is all that matters, fear of separation from them brings anxiety. 
Let’s talk about how we can all show signs of DPD and Co-dependency to varying degrees, and how bringing awareness and knowledge can help us grow and become better.
