Your mom was a Rockstar Mom. She did anything and everything for you. She made sure to say “yes” to everything you needed to the extent that she didn’t take care of her own needs. You may have known that, but thought it was just what moms do. Finding out your mom was codependent can be confusing and hurtful. You may be wondering if your mom ever really loved you at all or if she was just giving to serve her own needs.

Do you tend to be an over-complimentor in your relationships? While it’s nice to give genuine compliments in relationships- and even a love language- this can also be holding you both back from getting closer.

You’re not sure where your anxiety came from. Maybe you’ve been to some therapy to work through the symptoms in the present day, but it didn’t go much deeper than that. You want to squash it and get to the root of the issue. Sometimes anxiety can come from a traumatic event that we can trace back to. If you’ve been in a car accident, you might be anxious driving again until you’ve worked through it, for example.
