Yes! I am excited reading that you have noticed this as well! I want to add here that I am.realizing there is a whole lot of overlap between co-dependents and empathy. In fact, I would venture to say it is a spectrum of some sort. Codependence is an extreme form of a disempowered empath, and as they become more empowered, they become healers that are more integrated and do less harm. I am going to write an article about this soon. I would love to set up a chat with you and perhaps collaborate on article. ☺
