Codependency reveals a complex dance of enmeshment and emotional dependency rooted in early relational patterns. Shaped by experiences of attachment insecurity and past traumas, individuals navigate relationships characterized by excessive care taking, people-pleasing, and a blurred sense of self. Like tendrils reaching from the past, these patterns perpetuate cycles of dysfunction and reinforce feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. Therapy offers a transformative space for unraveling these intricate dynamics, fostering awareness of unhealthy relational patterns and reclaiming autonomy and self-worth. Through healing attachment wounds and addressing underlying trauma, individuals can cultivate healthier boundaries and authentic connections, breaking free from the chains of codependency and rediscovering the power of their own agency and identity.

With ADHD, ADD and Autism, one might lean on the people around them more to help in areas we are limited such as executive function (including things like decision-making, prioritization of tasks, working memory issues etc.). That sometimes creates an unhealthy or codependent relationship where there is a caregiving dynamic to the point that resentment grows. In counselling, you can develop the awareness and skills around your relationship patterns, and learn how to respond differently so that you and your loved ones can be well.

I believe it is important to interrogate the etiology of codependency which has become such a buzz word in pop psychology. Codependency may have its roots in early attachment trauma - the inability of a caregiver to form a safe and stable relationship with their child. However, it is also important to honour the cultural diversity of being in relationship and being in community. Western culture tells us we are supposed to be happy alone, when this is not the way humans lived for millennia. Collectivist cultures show us a different story of what it is to be in relationship. Ultimately, learning to cultivate a sense of secure attachment, along with agency and flexible boundaries may be a way to walk the middle path in addressing codependency concerns.

Codependency is a bit of a trap. We often don't recognize we are in it but we know something feels off. We feel alone, tired or resentful. Working with a therapist can really help tease apart what is going on and teach you ways to set healthy boundaries.
