Couple Relationships

What is emotional dependence?
The emotionally dependent person has completely idealized their partner, considering them the most important person in their life and submitting to them because they are terrified of a possible breakup.

This feeling leads the dependent to suffer every time something comes between the two or when things don't go well.
An emotionally dependent person during a relationship has a fear of abandonment, and at the time of the breakup, problems such as the need to have contact with the ex-partner, anxiety, desperation, obsessive thoughts, sadness, or trouble sleeping are likely to appear.

Am I emotionally dependent?
To detect whether you are an emotionally dependent person, you must reflect on whether you struggle to feel independent, or whether you are obsessed with the relationship you have.

The following symptoms may help you in your reflection:

- I'm afraid of loneliness, rejection, or abandonment.
- If I don't have a partner, I feel bad and I become obsessed with having one.
- I try to please so that they like me.
- When I am hurt, I am unable to set clear and firm limits.
- I control my partner and obsess over her.

How can psychological therapy help me?
Eliminating emotional dependence is possible; it is a more manageable and effective process with the help of a psychologist.

Love is a fundamental part of people's lives, but to enjoy it as a couple, it's important to feel good about yourself. Therefore, one of the key aspects of enjoying love as a couple in a balanced way is developing as individuals and knowing how to be alone. Once you feel good about yourself, you'll begin to enjoy love in a healthy, non-dependent way.
