A person that has codependency often have difficulty; set and maintain healthy boundaries; validating and protect themselves emotionally and make decisions on your own. If you have tendency to be codependency, this pattern may play out again and again. Your sacrifices you have made may also add up you become drained, overwhelmed, and even resentful or angry. It is time to achieve a new independency
Codependency is defined as follows: "It is an emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individual's ability to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship. It is also known as “relationship addiction” because people with codependency often form or maintain relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive and/or abusive." Codependency is a condition that affects thinking, feelings, and behavior. It often stems from learned behavior in a dysfunctional family environment. Together my client and I unwind where the codependency stems from. My approach in therapy with clients who are codependent is solution oriented that help free the individual from the bondage of the toxic system. Much of my advanced training in codependency stems from my training as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.
I see the therapeutic process as myself guiding my clients through difficult situations to move forward in life, and feel more energized. My clients say that I supportively nudge them along and that our therapeutic rapport is what helps them better find themselves.
Tired of feeling your choices are not really YOUR choices? Feeling like you are buried under other peoples' needs? Or questioning whether you are a co-dependent? Call me and let's talk.
