YOU DON'T HAVE MANY CODEPENDENT TRAITS
Our quiz shows us you don’t have many codependent traits. If you are still keen to learn more about codependency then see the resources below.
Codependency is described by Terri Cole as when you covertly or overtly try to control, fix or manipulate the feeling states, behaviors and outcomes of others. Being loving means you care about the other, being codependent means you are overly invested in the other. A codependent person will feel incredibly worried about what others think about them, to the point that they are living (subconsciously) in an inauthentic way. Codependent relationships might on the outside look really close and wonderful but on the inside they are intense, to the point of often being toxic, full of resentment & guilt.
SOME COMMON SIGNS OF CODEPENDENCY:
- You minimise your feelings.
- You always put others before yourself for fear of letting someone else down.
- Your self-esteem is based on what others think of you.
- You need the approval of others.
- Saying yes to everything & then resenting it.
- Feeling guilty for taking time off / being ill / doing something nice for yourself.
- When someone else feels low, you then take on those feelings.
- You hate confrontation and avoid it at all costs.
THERE’S NO SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES FOR YOU, FRIEND.

HI, I’M SOPHIE!
Before we go any further, let me introduce myself.. In 2015 I was signed off work due to insomnia and anxiety. I was incredibly stressed both physically & mentally and as a result I suffered from numerous health problems.
I trained as a yoga teacher & began to heal myself through meditation & movement. However I soon burnt out for a second time 2 years into my teaching journey. Becoming a yoga teacher hadn't magically transformed me - I realised I needed to do the deeper work!
A sudden separation & divorce hit me out of the blue & I decided to move to Bali & finally commit to doing the work on myself. I worked on my codependency, my lack of boundaries, my people pleasing (which was consuming me), I looked at my relationships with partners, family, friends... I was shocked at why I hadn't been taught any of this at school! Things started to make sense to me.
I’m so honoured to share my journey, get to know you, hear your life dreams and support you along your path toward self-worth, freedom, ease and fulfilment.
