Adult Emotional Dependency (AED) is a set of behaviors hard-coded into our DNA, not learned through experiences or traumas. AED is distinct from childhood trauma and abuse. Although traumatic experiences certainly contribute to emotional dependency, AED is caused by an inability to become emotionally independent after puberty, due to the lack of parental guidance and education in emotional self-reliance. It is only by self-fulfilling the emotional needs of the mind and becoming emotionally independent that AED can be terminated.

Our human nature seeks to become self-reliant and independent in adulthood. When we are emotionally free, we can relate with others from a place of personal power and equality. This allows us to engage with different people out of choice rather than fear or necessity. On the contrary, Adult Emotional Dependency (AED)  leads to layers of unease and distress, leaving us feeling powerless and fragile. AED manifests itself in maladaptive behaviors such as relying on peers, colleagues, or family for protection, approval, direction, and emotional fulfillment.

The burden of Adult Emotional Dependency (AED) brings a gamut of distressing symptoms that include fear of judgment, rejection, and abandonment as well as the need to seek external validation, giving too much to please others, and accepting abuse for affection. There are feelings of self-doubt, neediness and self-focus, low self-esteem, inadequacy, social anxiety, and chronic insecurity. Moreover, those struggling with AED have difficulty developing an identity while feeling like a fraud and failure compared to others around them. They often prioritize others' needs above their own and may feel a strong sense of responsibility for others' happiness and well-being, this can lead to feelings of resentment, frustration, and even resentment towards themselves. This deep-rooted fear leads to anger, and resentment towards the lack of support and guidance leading to addictions, loneliness, narcissism, or emotional numbness.

The cause of Adult Emotional Dependency (AED)

We are inherently equipped with the tools that enable us to become emotionally mature and self-reliant as we progress from childhood to young adulthood. However, during our formative years these tools are yet to be developed, forming a dependency upon parents or guardians. As we enter puberty, the urge to become independent and direct our own lives arises, motivating us to switch from dependent relationships to those of autonomy.

The effectiveness of this transformation hinges upon the life-models taught by our parents and guardians; if they have not achieved emotional autonomy themselves, then it is unlikely their children will gain the awareness and skills required. Consequently, adolescent dependency persists into adulthood and can continue throughout life, whereby external sources - such as peers, partners or social influences - are sought in an attempt to fulfill needs like leadership, safety and love. This is known as Adult Emotional Dependency (AED).

Emotional Dependency in childhood

Emotional Dependency is an instinctive behaviour ingrained in us to promote our emotional growth during childhood. It encourages children to acquire parental protection, advice and tangible love. This impulse takes effect at birth and should terminate before puberty when youngsters must learn to provide for their own emotional needs. When this process fails and adults are unable to provide their own emotional fulfilment, they remain emotionally dependent, relying on external sources for sustenance - an issue known as Adult Emotional Dependency (AED).
