Recovery Mosher teaches how to regain the self and recovery from co-dependency. The first step is going back into one's own childhood and figuring out what went wrong. Whether emotionally, sexually, or physically, all abuse is spiritual abuse. One must resolve the emotions they feel about these incidents before recovering. Once this is done, it's important to begin to tend to the needs of the self.
Support groups can be useful as well.
There one can verbally identify and admit the problem with others that suffer in the same way. They feel that this emptiness is being filled by the other person. By attaching themselves to others and using them as everything, they feel whole. When they learn to fully accept themselves, then they can begin to involve themselves in healthy relationships.
