I slowly began to confront my codependency. I faced my fears one by one and my life started changing drastically. I also found that there are so many other men like me struggling with codependency. As I shared my own experience and knowledge with my therapy clients, their lives started changing drastically as well.
​
I realized that men like us need the right guidance and tools to truly become free from codependency. That's why I founded Own Your Codependency. In order to beat codependency, you must first take full responsibility for it. The reason you are codependent might not be your fault, but you are the only person who can change it.
When we let go of our fear of rejection and abandonment, we can start living boldly and authentically. You will then attract people and opportunities like a magnet attracts iron. The road to authenticity is not easy, but I dare to say that living in codependency is way more difficult and even deadly.

Hi, I'm Chiwoo. I'm so excited you are here.

Prior to becoming a codependency coach, I worked as a licensed professional counselor for 8 years. I loved the idea of healing others from their distress as it made me feel like a savior. I didn't realize that it was a cry for help. I was the one that needed to be saved.
​
I tried religion, therapy, energy healing, psychedelics, and other healing modalities. Each time I felt slightly better and good enough to continue my codependent lifestyle. But things that I thought would make me happy only made me feel emptier inside. I knew something was terribly wrong, but I didn't know what to do. So I kept falling... until I hit rock bottom.
​
In early 2023, I found myself sobbing on the floor at an AirBnB after I left my toxic marriage. I knew I had made the right decision but detoxing from the life of codependency was not easy.
