Unhealthy Dependency

If your relationship feels more like a lifeline than a choice, explore what's underneath.

Unhealthy dependency occurs when one person relies on another to an extent that undermines autonomy, self-worth, or wellbeing — often stemming from unresolved attachment wounds, fear of abandonment, or a lack of identity outside the relationship. Recognising the pattern is the first step toward building connections that are both close and free.
