codependency is a complete lack of self love and worth where one constantly seeks external validation from others.
external validation
let me ask you, can you relate to any of this?
Do you often describe yourself as the caretaker in a relationship? You know - the one who goes out of their way to seek external approval and validation, avoid conflict, ease tension, and make sure everyone is happy? That hits home, doesn't it?
AND MORE THAN THAT, HOW MANY OF THESE BEHAVIOURS DO YOU ALSO IDENTIFY WITH?
- I avoid making difficult decisions in my relationship. It's easier to go with what they want.
- I'm not sure how to communicate my feelings to them. It's really frustrating.
- I've started avoiding topics altogether that I know they'll disagree with still. It feels like I'm walking on eggshells a lot of the time.
- I listen to the advice they give me, even when it feels off to me.
- I need reassurance often. If I'm not getting enough affection or undivided attention from them, then something is wrong.
- I probably apologise too much.
- I always seem to find myself in relationships where I am trying to fix other people. Even my friendships centre around helping others.
- I don't do anything for myself in my relationships. I'm not even sure I have a hobby!
- I feel like I've lost my sense of self in most of my relationships.
Even when I recognise my codependent behaviours, I can't seem to get rid of them.
Now is the time to reclaim your true self and live the life you were destined to live.
And that is why I created the Healing Codependency Course. I'm here to help people like us understand what codependency is, why we may be codependent and how we can change it and move on to have a healthy sense of self so that we can live the life we were destined to live.

so what really is codependency?
codependancy
Ultimately, it's a pattern of learned behaviours that we've adopted to help us feel safe. But over time, our codependency traits turn into an ADDICTION. And like any addiction, it takes work to heal. Now before we go on, I want you to re-read that statement please… codependency is a pattern of LEARNED behaviours.
Know that this is not your fault! Know that you are not broken! And more than that, know that you are not alone. What you are suffering is a lack of "self," meaning you don't feel worthy, loveable, important or good enough and you are ALWAYS looking for external approval and validation.
I've been there myself. I've lived it. And from a young age I carried feelings about my lack of self-worth because whatever I did, my father never praised me - and my interpretation of this was that I was not good enough. Now, of course, as a child, I WAS good enough. But the negative belief that got wired into my brain was "I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH". This resulted in somatic memory. Whenever someone would try and make me feel like I was not good enough, my body would physically react to that trauma!

the power to heal lies within you.
I know. I'm proof that your past does not define your future.
And I'm here to show you another way. To empower you to recognise the fact that you were victimised by a narcissist, who acted as the abuser, and you suffered trauma as a result.
Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we say to ourselves on a deep level in response to what has happened and what we have locked in our body. So for me, anything that triggered my negative belief would take me back to those painful feelings, and encourage me to practice codependency to create a sense of safety and security for myself.
My blueprint became a people-pleasing, high-achieving perfectionist, which made me a magnet for toxic friendships and relationships and led me to marry a narcissist. Codependents and narcissists always seem to go hand in hand. Until you break the cycle.
I did it, and now it's your turn. It is time to reclaim your true self and live the life you were destined to live.
"I USED TO HOPE THAT YOU'D BRING ME FLOWERS.
NOW I PLANT MY OWN."

UNDERSTAND. DISCOVER. LEARN. LIVE.
this is how I can help you.
I created this programme to help people like us understand what codependency is, why we may be codependent and how we can change it and move on to have a healthy sense of self so that we can live the life we were destined to live.
So often it is a precursor for someone who finds themselves in a relationship with a narcissist. And once we fall into this pattern of behaviours, it can be hard to break but through these 12-lessons, you will be able to take back control, for good.
LESSON 01:
What is codependency?
The first step in recognising and healing your codependency starts with learning more about codependency itself and how it manifests in different areas of our life.
LESSON 02:
Are you codependent?
If the first lesson hits home for you, then just wait for this one. This lesson digs deeper into codependent behaviours and what it truly feels like to be someone in a codependent position.
LESSON 03:
Healing your inner child
For most of us, codependence starts in childhood. By going back to our roots, we can identify fundamental patterns that hold us back from healing and maintaining healthy relationships today.
LESSON 04:
Understanding the addiction
Codependency runs deep. It's important to step back and recognise all the ways in which codependent behaviour rules us.
LESSON 05:
Navigating relationships as a codependent person
After you've had a chance to fully understand your patterns of codependency, we'll start to look forward and discuss how you can create healthy relationships of all types moving forward.
LESSON 06:
Setting boundaries as a codependent person
One of the most important tools available to us is our ability to set and stick to healthy boundaries in our relationships.
LESSON 07:
Finally breaking the habit of codependency
In this lesson, I'll help you understand how you can break the habit of codependency in your life once and for all!
LESSON 08:
Mindfulness & codependency
Mindfulness plays a key role in our ability to maintain healthy habits and lead a life that fulfills us. This lesson will dig deeper into how you can integrate mindfulness into your codependency healing journey.
LESSON 09:
Phases of recovery
As with any form of therapy and self-discovery, the healing process isn't linear. We'll take a step back to remind you of what your healing journey will look like, and how you can successfully navigate all of the unexpected twists and turns that life throws your way.
LESSON 10:
Your intentional future self
What's next? We'll look at how you can use the tools you learned to heal your codependency to create the life you were always destined to live!
LESSON 11:
A self-love trauma informed hypnotherapy meditation recording
To top it all off, we'll walk through one final tool you can use in your healing journey: self-love.
LESSON 12:
Review & reflect
Healing is not a destination. Taking the time to review and reflect is so important. We always have to be taking action and using the tools we have so we can move forward and live our best life.

HEALING FROM CODEPENDENCY TAKES TIME.
I'm a firm believer that you can't rush healing - that's why you will have LIFETIME access to this course in your very own online portal!
CODEPENDENCY IS ALL ABOUT DISCOVERING YOURSELF.
It's about loving yourself. And trusting yourself to such a strong degree that you'll never second guess yourself again. You'll never accept less than what you deserve.
WE LEARNED TO BE CODEPENDENT TO FEEL SAFE.
No wonder it's stuck around so long! Of course, your brain is going to struggle with letting go of beliefs that at one point kept us safe and gave us security.
THERE IS A WORLD OF TOOLS OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP US HEAL AND COPE.
Codependents struggle with boundaries because we have never felt as if what we felt was valid and worthy of being taken seriously.
IT'S TIME TO BREAK HARMFUL BELIEFS AND CREATE NEW ONES!
Healing requires that we learn an entirely new set of beliefs that are centred upon the idea that at our core WE ARE ENOUGH!

I'm here to help you move from complex post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth achieving higher-level living BECAUSE of your trauma.
I've been where you are right now before. It's what inspired me to take this path and help people around the world heal their narcissistic trauma, find meaning in their stories, and awaken their potential to live a life of joy, connection, and LOVE.
That journey has seen me become a multi-award-winning Trauma Therapist & Coach and the founder of The School Of Trauma Informed Positive Psychology. I host the #1 iTunes Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast providing my community with additional tangible tools and techniques to help them on their recovery journey. And feature repeatedly on national television, national newspapers, magazines, and BBC Radio.
But unlike other narcissistic trauma recovery programmes, I integrate both my personal experiences and my medical background into my teachings.
Through my personal experiences and medical background, I created a unique combination of nervous system and somatic healing techniques that incorporate a combination of cognitive (mind) and somatic (body) therapies to heal the trauma of narcissistic abuse ONCE AND FOR ALL!
I get you. I see you. I hear you. I'm with you.
