Life beyond codependency

Restore from within after burnout, emotional exhaustion or narcissistic relationships

Burnout & Codependency – The Hidden Link

It often starts quietly. Years of people-pleasing, over-adapting, and pushing through — until your body puts on the brakes.

You feel drained, tense, overwhelmed.

Would you immediately recognise it as burnout?

What looks like burnout is often more than stress.

It’s the cost of years of people-pleasing, self-abandonment and boundary override, held in your body, your energy and your nervous system.

From surviving to living in connection with who you truly are.

That is where your path to recovery begins. Codependency is not a character trait. It is an old survival pattern. Formed in the moments when you learned that love was something you had to work for, fight for, or sacrifice yourself for.

That imprint is still living within you. In your nervous system, your behaviour, your relationships.

What once helped you to survive now keeps you trapped in patterns of pleasing, scanning, and disappearing. My guidance is about getting back to the core. Not just talking, but actually resetting. Not just understanding, but also embodying.

So you can stop living from fear and start living from inner safety, self-worth, and authentic connection.

You are not broken. You are shaped.

And everything that is shaped can be rewritten. In your nervous system. In your behaviour. And in how you rediscover yourself.

Codependency requires more than just inner child work

That is why so many people fall back into old patterns, even after years of therapy or inner child work. Because patterns such as loss of self, people-pleasing behaviour, inner emptiness, self-rejection, deep fear or self-destruction are not “behaviour”. They are deeply embedded in your nervous system, arising from early attachment and formed in the limbic system. Without body awareness, regulation and reprogramming, your system will continue to do what it has always done: survive, adapt, analyse.

What you need is not more insight, but a deeper shift from within.

In my work, we combine inner child healing with deeper layers of integration:

• Nervous system regulation & body-based interventions

to help your body feel safe again and calm your reactive patterns

• Trauma-sensitive work with the limbic system

to rewire the automatic links between fear, love and pain

• Reparenting your inner child and teen

focusing on recognition, boundaries, emotional expression and inner support

• Reprogramming your identity

from self-rejection and over-adapting to self-worth, strength and adult autonomy

We start where you are now, gently working with all that you feel, all you’ve learned to avoid, and everything you’ve had to carry.

Not to return to who you used to be, but to the moment you first disconnected from yourself.

To gently restore, layer by layer, who you truly are.

Beyond what you once had to believe.

Beyond who you thought you had to become.

Back home, to your authentic self.

The essence of my work

Recovery starts with what is truly stuck

in your body, in your nervous system, in old patterns that once helped you survive.

I don't work with fixed methods or spiritual ideals, but with who you are. Your body doesn't lie. That's where change begins.

Codependency, burnout or prolonged exhaustion are not “mental” problems.

They are felt in your system.

That is why I work with a combination of neurophysiology, energy recovery and somatic guidance. So that you not only understand what is going on, but also feel that something is changing.

No bypass, no tricks. But change that really sets something in motion.

Not trying harder. But, coming home to yourself, step by step.

You keep adjusting. You feel disconnected. You long for love but lose yourself along the way.

Does this sound familiar?

▸ You people-please, care for others, and constantly attune to their needs

▸ You’re afraid of rejection or abandonment

▸ You struggle to feel your needs — or to set boundaries

▸ You keep ending up in unhealthy or destructive relationships

▸ You feel tired, tense, overstimulated

Maybe you’re recovering from a toxic or narcissistic relationship. And something in you knows: real change won’t come from the outside. It has to begin within. What you’re feeling is not weakness. It’s a deeply wired survival strategy. And it can be rewired. Step by step. In safety. At your own pace.

Do You Recognise Yourself in This?

What Makes My Approach Different and Truly Effective?

Nervous system healing – feeling safe from within

Real healing begins in the body. At the heart of my work is restoring inner safety. You’ll learn to calm your nervous system, release stored stress, and reconnect with what you truly feel. Because without a body that feels safe, insight alone is never enough.

Inner work – reclaiming all parts of yourself

We don’t just focus on behaviour or symptoms, but on the parts of you that had to be pushed aside. Your inner child. Your protectors. Your quiet pain. When these parts are met with love and awareness, integration becomes possible — and space opens for your true self to emerge.

Rewiring the limbic system – freeing your instincts

You don’t attract what you want, you attract what your system recognises.

In our sessions, we work with the limbic memory: the unconscious patterns that shape your reactions and choices. This allows you to break free from old trauma bonds and begin choosing from truth, not survival.

Rebuilding the relationship with yourself – so love is no longer something you have to earn

Once your inner foundation is stable, your whole life changes. You no longer need anyone else to feel complete, and that is when love becomes safe, equal and nourishing. My guidance helps you to return to yourself and rediscover your inner strength. This method is deeply transformative for those who are ready to stop circling and truly begin to heal..

Coming Soon: My Book – How Do I get out of this?

A Bridge Back to Yourself

For anyone who feels: I don’t want to keep losing myself.

In this book, I share my personal journey through codependency, childhood trauma, and emotional entanglement. I take you on a journey of how I slowly, layer by layer, returned to who I truly am.

Do you want to gain a deeper understanding of what is going on inside you? In De Bridge – How Do I Get Out of This, I reveal the red thread of codependency.

Not in clinical terms, but in a language you can feel.  I wrote it this way because it is more important that you recognise what you are surviving than that it looks “beautiful” or perfect. Because only when you recognise it, can you heal it.
And that is exactly what I wish for you.
