“Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light.” – Madeleine L’Engle
I talk about being too dependent on others on this weeks episode of The Anxiety Project Podcast. While going through difficult life challenges, you may hold onto those around you that provide you with the reassurance that you so desperately want to hear. Is this healthy? It only strengthens your fear of the challenges you continue to avoid, and it strengthens your relationship with your safe zone which is also not good. Being too dependent on your safe zone or others around you just limits your own true voice. Your perception of the world may be limited, and so you keep clinging to those that provide you with the love and support you think you need to get by. This only continues to strengthen your identity of being an anxious and weak person.
When you attempt to move away from the old you, you are then met with reassurance, and so, you go back to your old ways of being. I go over how you can move away from this dependent You towards a more independent and confident You.
