Codependency has its roots in a childhood trauma response to varying degrees for people who have Codependency. People cannot heal from Codependency and/or the trauma bonded relationships with CLuster B's without a trauma-based and trauma informed healing and recovery process working with ana expert in this area. The Codependent's Anonymous 12 Step program or other 12 step programs are not designed for the depthy of the process to heal your codependency. The 12 step groups are not the way to go and certainly not something to choose instead of working with an expert in your reccovery process.
