What is emotional dependency?

We are going to talk about emotional dependence today. We already have some videos talking about it, but Giovanna, all good, Giovanna? He asked me to talk a little bit more about emotional dependence. And emotional dependency is exactly what the name says. You create a dependency. Do not have physical dependence, chemical addiction, is not it an addiction when you have a chemical dependence on a drug? It is an emotional dependency.

 Your emotions become dependent on each other. For you to feel good emotionally, you begin to need something that comes from another. The other one looked at you, I’m happy. The other one talked to me, I’m happy. The other one sent me a message, I’m happy. The other one did not talk to me, I’m desperate. The other did not see the message, I’m desperate. The other one did not answer the call, I’m desperate. The other did not answer me, I’m desperate. Emotional dependence.

 Sometimes we feel an anxiety because the other does not respond, this is normal up to a certain point. When I start to paralyze life, to get into suffering because of this, I am an emotional dependent. I’m addicted to the other. I’m addicted to what comes from the other. This is serious. When you establish an emotional dependency, you can often just break it with professional help. In fact almost 100% of the people I care for, when it comes to me, comes from emotional dependence.

 You are living 100% the other who does not want to live in your life anymore. And you enter into a deep suffering that must be broken, that you must leave so that you can move on.
