The Ladies talk about 2 very important terms. Interdependency and codependency are two different concepts that relate to how individuals engage in relationships with others:
Interdependency:
Interdependency refers to a healthy and balanced form of reliance and mutual support within a relationship. In an interdependent relationship, individuals maintain their autonomy and independence while also recognizing and respecting each other's needs and boundaries. They can rely on each other for emotional support, collaboration, and shared decision-making without sacrificing their own identities or well-being.
Key features of interdependency include:
Overall, interdependency fosters healthy relationships characterized by mutual trust, communication, and respect.
Codependency:
Codependency, on the other hand, is an unhealthy and dysfunctional relationship dynamic characterized by excessive reliance on and enabling of another person, often at the expense of one's own well-being. In a codependent relationship, one person typically takes on the role of the caretaker or rescuer, while the other person may exhibit addictive or self-destructive behaviors.
Key features of codependency include:
Overall, codependency can lead to dysfunctional and emotionally draining relationships marked by imbalance, resentment, and a lack of personal fulfillment.
In summary, interdependency involves healthy mutual reliance and support within a relationship, while codependency involves unhealthy patterns of enabling and dependency that undermine individual autonomy and well-being.
