If you want to heal these behaviors lastingly, the first step is to identify the wounds of the past that generated this dependence. Then you need to deprogram them so that they no longer influence the way you act in the present. And for me that goes through <a href=\"https:\/\/sandykaufmann.ch\/fr\/quest-ce-quun-schema-amoureux\/\">the body<\/a>,\n2. Cultivating healthy habits consists of developing kinder habits toward yourself, namely giving yourself the emotional nourishment you need. to cultivate your independence in relationship, to learn to be in relationship without sacrificing yourself.\nIt is a bit like eating disorders. You are in constant contact with the other and you have to relearn your interactions with the other. You cannot cut off all contact.\nTo go further, my program <a href=\"https:\/\/sandykaufmann.ch\/en\/opening-up-to-love\/\">Opening up to love<\/a>&nbsp;helps you discover the origin of your emotional dependence and put in place the right habits to love without damaging yourself and\/or forgetting yourself. You can take the Day of the Past option, a day of <strong>Somatic Deprogramming<\/strong>: a psycho-corporal practice to deprogram the automatic patterns of the nervous system and reprogram new
