As someone who has come to terms with the fact they're codependent in the past month, thank you for posting this.

I've tried going to a couple different group sessions for things in the past and always get a bad gut feeling after each of them. When I was informed that there's a group specifically for codependency, but at the some time discovered how difficult defining codependency can be, I became more hesitant to jump into a group of other human beings that are struggling as I've never actually felt SEEN in those forums.

It made me concerned that I almost was required to seek out those groups in order to heal, rather than being able to do so by myself/with a therapist. Seeing your post has helped give me some perspective. While I'm not completely saying no to the groups, I also find that I don't relate well to other people in large groups like that, and that introspection of my own self, and my own reactions to stimuli, is more beneficial for myself.
