Well, since Codependency comes from our parents in the first place, exactly what did the therapist say? What are the details and particulars of this codependent relationship with your parents (most are!). Was the relationship happy, sad, angry, fun, boring, manipulative, dangerous, troubled, LOVING, negligent, indifferent, hostile, friendly, or what?

I think I display some codependency in work situations, too, but not with friends, kids, or significant others.
|
Exactly what do you display at work and not with the others?

My therapist wants me to go to these meetings. I honestly don't know what I want out of CODA.

You can go to meetings for idol curiosity but its ludicrous to go there if you don't know why you're going or don't identify with the characteristics. Does your therapist ever tell you more about this stuff?

Lol I hoped to learn more about codependency, but the meeting I went to was a topic meeting and they just sat around listing what they were grateful for.

LOL, you might get more out of online meetings - google it.
good luck,
