When I posted the blog article yesterday on codependency in religion, I did not realize how deeply it would resonate with people.
I am incredibly grateful and excited to share that there was a massive response of readers to How Codependency Can Show Up in Religion: Recognizing the Patterns and Breaking Free.
The article is for those who are religious and those who have left religion, inviting all of us to heal from codependency patterns that can all too easily arise in religious contexts and communities. For those still practicing, it offers insights into creating a healthier relationship with faith. For those who’ve moved on, it provides practical steps for reconnecting with yourself again.
If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend checking it out. It’s already helping many people find clarity, self-compassion, and freedom. Please share it with anyone you think could benefit from this life-changing journey.
Healing requires us to stop abandoning ourselves and learning to connect with ourselves deeply. That’s where the transformation begins, and I’d love for you to be part of it.
In compassionate support,
Forest Benedict, LMFT
