Self-esteem and codependency are both very much interlinked. If you have codependent tendencies then the chances are there are underlying issues with self-esteem. The good news is that both can be worked on to break the cycles in order to develop more meaningful and rewarding relationships in your life. Just because these patterns have repeated themselves in the past doesn't mean that it has to be this way forever. But having clear understanding and strategies in place in which to improve on moving forward are absolutely vital.

A lack of self-esteem can also manifest itself in unhealthy unconscious behavioral patterns such as codependency or neediness. You can also attract into your life people or experiences that correlate to your subconscious beliefs. This lack of self-worth, if left unchecked, can take its toll on all aspects of daily life. The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way forever. You don't have to keep on repeating the same patterns that have probably been showing up in your life for years!

Codependency is extremely hard to deal with and if you are codependent then attempting to have functional and happy relationships can be one of the biggest challenges of all. It certainly doesn't mean you can't, but understanding codependency on a deeper level and learning strategies in how to heal is key to having the relationships in your life that you both want and deserve.
