    Codependency: It Ends With You!

    In this podcast episode, Jessica Parente, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and ICF Accredited Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach, discusses codependency and its impact. Jess shares her personal experience with codependency, which began in childhood due to adverse events. She became hypervigilant, anxious, and perfectionistic, struggling with boundaries and indecisiveness. It wasn't until later in life that she recognized her codependent traits. Jess explains what codependency is, how it is developed and shares symptoms of codependency. This episode explores how codependents are magnets for someone with narcissistic tendencies, and how overcoming codependency involves awareness, education and identifying and working on habits and boundaries. Modalities like Brainspotting, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems that work on the subconscious and somatic levels, rewiring codependent patterns are explained. Jess shares the positive aspects of her recovery, including self-discovery, emotional balance, and the ability to choose how to engage with her codependent tendencies. Trusting intuition, setting boundaries, and feeling laid-back are among the benefits. She leaves us with her final thoughts that codependency is not a life sentence and can be rewired with hard work and diligence.
