Do You Put Others On The Authority Pedestal?

Do You Put Others On The Authority Pedestal?
Codependency's biological cause is the Fawn Response to danger or threat. In the Fawn Response, the brain and body orient to the other person as someone to appease and please. The idea is to get them to like you so they won't harm, discard, or threaten you.
This makes you vulnerable to exploitation and manipulation, as the body and brain will concede its own sense of reality and authority to people or particular people outside itself. This is how we put others on the "authority pedestal".
It is also how we internalize self-doubt and distrust in our own lived reality, senses, experiences, insights, and wisdom. It generates high levels of comparison, insecurity, and "impostor syndrome". We also tend to become high-level performers as we believe our value is dependent on our output.
The work here is to take people off that pedestal and put yourself on the same level you put them on, then to strip them of any authority over your life, experience, insight or wisdom. This includes anyone you follow that is an expert in something particular (like myself, for example).
I'm not an authority. I'm an expert in some things. But an authority in none.
To heal and thrive beyond codependency, you must end the habit of making others authorities and cultivate the habit of internalizing that authority within yourself. YOU, and no one else, are the authority over your life.
Period.

This is one of the most important, life changing videos for some of us-It really must seem like a small silly video to others, but it's important for some of us to get some of these lessons in life. It answers more things than you know.

Very valuable information. I'm a therapist but sometimes find myself people pleasing, fawning and overvaluing the opinions of authority figures. It's not healthy. I appreciate this!
