Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

Co-dependency is an expression of the False Self developed in a narcissistic &/or alcoholic home. It's the compulsion to find one's identity through the eyes of other people, instead of from inside oneself. (Blog : 2017)

Dr. Maria Canyon
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Patterns of codependency develop for complex reasons (e.g. personality traits, childhood environments) and require a thorough multimodal approach to treatment. Codependency develops as a unconscious and valid protective response to relational dynamics. Overtime you may have started to recognize the harmful effects this tendency, that likely protected you during childhood, is having on you and your current relationships. Together we can explore the unconscious patterning that has led to this and work to implement healthy boundaries and behaviors. While doing this, we will hold space for the inevitable emotions that arise when setting new patterns into place. Overtime, my hope is that you will be able to integrate your compassion for others into an empowered self, meeting your own needs as well as others.
