Codependency and Attachment

Mary invites her friend Jacqueline to discuss codependency and attachment. In this case, attachment means becoming overly involved with a troubled, needy, or dependent person. Codependence can also mean a lack of open and direct communication, trust in one's self, and the inability to set realistic expectations. Get the low-down on what codependency looks and sounds like, where it comes from (hint: your family relationships), and steps you can take to set yourself free.
