Dependency and codependency are often confused because they overlap in many ways. This common feeling and confusion is part and parcel to traits in those with BPD. Let’s dive into it here and help you understand it and I’ll talk about how you can best manage it.

First, let’s define what each means. There is a PD called dependent personality disorder, and it’s estimated to be present in about ½ a percent of the general population. It’s an inescapable and intense need to be taken care by an identified other that leads to submissive and clinging behavior and fears of separation.

We'll discuss dependent PD, but also codependency. This term has become very colloquial and not clinical. In this video discuss the common symptoms of codependency.

The key to breaking the Dependency and codependency cycle and lessen the traits is to learn about yourself and your core content. It’s your core content that drives your urges and dependency behaviors. It is possible to do it differently.
