Healing from Codependency, with Ivy Kwong | Navigating Relationships

Pineapple Support
Published on Oct 7, 2021
Codependency is a response to trauma that happens in
relationship with others. If we had our needs and feelings denied in
childhood, we can give them up in adulthood in order to prioritize the
needs and feelings of another over our own. Like all coping mechanisms
that help us stay alive, it works until it stops working, potentially
becoming more harmful than helpful. In this presentation, we will
discuss the roots of codependency and how it may be addressed, tended
to, and healed.

queer, middle-class, able-bodied, spiritual, kink-friendly,
