The Codependency Matrix - Your Empathy is Narcissist Food.

In this video I explore the matrix of codependency and why some people, even though they’re strong and independent, end up giving more than they receive. I explain how low empathy individuals tend to find and exploit those who over-function, and how this can leave the one who 'feels too much' with less, less care and emotions for their own growth. If you're someone who always takes care of others but feels like no one takes care of you, this video will help you understand what's going on. We’ll look at how these patterns start, often from childhood, and how they affect your relationships today. You’ll learn how to break free from the cycle of over-giving, set healthy boundaries, and start feeling more balanced in your relationships. If you're ready to shift this dynamic, keep watching!
