Use Your Words & Empower Your Life
Use Your Words & Empower Your Life
As a songwriter, I have an intimate understanding of the power of words. I have lived most of my life at the intersection of songwriting and recovery. It amazes me how much these two seemingly different areas of life rely on the power of language. In this five part series, I share my ideas about Codependency Recovery based on my “lived experience”. I make a few suggestions that have been helpful in my own recovery, and yes, it’s all about finding the words.
In this episode I discusses the third of the five patterns of Codependency – Avoidance.
Sharing from her “lived experience” as a person in long term recovery from addiction, she takes a deep dive in to this common set of coping mechanisms.
The Five patterns of codependency:
Denial
Compliance
Avoidance
Control
Low Self Esteem

In this five part series, Singer Songwriter Elizabeth Edwards will share her experience with Codependency based on her “lived experience”. She offers suggestions that have been helpful in her recovery because she believes that many with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) are limited by these patterns well into their recovery, as was her experience.
