Codependency can suck the joy right out of a person's life. You deserve to rid yourself of toxic beliefs that damage healthy relationship building, and destroy self-esteem. We specialize in helping people overcome codependencies. Have questions? Email us at 4creativeliving@sbcglobal.net On this page you will find a CODEPENDENCY SELF-EVALUATION that can help you to see if this is an issue of yours. Take a few minutes to evaluate yourself.
Codependency Self-Evaluation Directions: Put a checkmark next to each statement that is generally true for you. __________________________________________________________________ Interpreting Results: Any check marks CAN indicate codependency issues. The number of statements which you found to apply to you, as well as the intensity of your response (that is, when you say the statement is true, how often is it true) gives an indication of how much of a problem codependency may be in your life. If you have more than three statements checked as true, you are not likely to be taking very good care of your most important asset: yourself!	I assume responsibility for the feelings and behaviors of others. I have difficulty identifying my own feelings: am I sad, lonely, happy, etc. I fear and worry about how others might respond to my feelings. I am afraid of being hurt and/or rejected by others. I am perfectionistic, placing too many expectations upon myself and upon others. I tend to put other people's wants and needs ahead of mine. I tend to judge everything I do or say harshly. Nothing I do, say, or think seems to me to be "good enough." I am steadfastly loyal: even when the loyalty is unjustified. I have to be "needed" in order to have a relationship with others. I tend not to ask for help or share. I do not think I should bother people with my problems.
"Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?" - Nietzsche The truly creative person must learn to gain satisfaction from the work itself ... from life itself ... rather than any approval the work might bring.	If you think this may be an issue for you, consider buying a copy of CELEBRATE YOURSELF by Dorothy Briggs. It is an excellent self-help book. If you would like to come in and talk about this issue, give us a call at the Center. CLICK HERE to return to the HOMEPAGE..
