I have been doing a lot of reading on myself lately, namely, my co dependency. From reading all of your works I consider myself to be a ‘co dependent – magnet – empath’ if such a pairing exists. I won’t ask specifics about my own situation here as I understand there are consultations for that and your time is valuable.
As a general question though, I have learnt that : Co dependents often have an object of obsession (alcoholic or narc partner, a job etc) I definitely fit into this category as I have lived so much of my adult life obsessing over different things or people for extended periods of time…. In general, do you feel co dependents are at the greatest disadvantage to detach themselves from abusers then say a standard empath or super empath as we consider our worth to be directly related to our object of obsession ?

HG,
I listened to the Addiction Foundation and I have two questions. You said that the imprinting happens in a child’s formative years.
Which years in a child’s life are the formative years? And can formative years be from 8 years old to adolesence?
0-9 years.
Okay, thanks.
