Hi, I am fascinated by the Recovery Patterns of codependence.  I am amazed at how many of them describe my own behaviors. For my contribution to an active forum, I will post a different pattern of codependency every few days.  I encourage everyone to share on each topic.  Sharing will help us all.  Thanks.

Awareness: Recovery Patterns of Codependence  (Denial Pattern)  

The CoDA patterns are offered as a tool to aid in self-evaluation.  As we recover from codependency, our thoughts and actions may change.

Feel free to share how your awareness of the patterns is helping you as you recover from codependency.

Codependents often...

Have difficulty identifying what they are feeling.

In Recovery…

are aware of feelings and identify them, often in the moment.   I know the difference between my thoughts and feelings.
