Codependency
Mr. Dan Pugel
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Codependency is a well worn "buzz word" meaning when one person takes on some of the unhealthy characteristics of the unhealthy person they are in relationship with. One may have a sense of over-responsibility and the other person's problems become your problem. Self worth becomes dependent on the actions and attitudes of others and based on the approval of others.
There's often a sense of needing to solve the other persons problems, to give more in order to be loved. Symptoms of codependency may include: an intense fear of rejection, the need to control or the perception of being controlled.
Boundaries are designed to, define one self in, and live out healthier relationship. It is difficult to commit to what you will accept and what you will not accept when in a codependent relationship. You may waver on what you will do and not do, say and not say. Responsibility is one of the most freeing concepts in relationship and also can be one of the most distorted and confusing aspects between two people. Responsibility is a reciprocating aspect of boundaries and among other concepts allows for a healthy interdependence between two people (not independence nor dependence).
Codependency can stem from early experiences learned in relationship. Sometimes this learning is ingrained and requires some deeper healing work. It is possible to move past the pain, heal and design life around healthy boundaries.

Codependency
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you finding yourself stuck in relationships where you feel overly responsible for others' well-being, or in a constant cycle of trying to “fix” a partner? Perhaps you’re experiencing the pain and confusion of trauma bonding—being attached to someone who is emotionally unavailable or even harmful, but feeling powerless to leave. These cycles of codependency and trauma bonding often leave us feeling trapped, unworthy, and emotionally drained.
In our work together, we’ll go beyond surface-level coping strategies. As a licensed psychologist and certified coach, I’ll help you dive deep into understanding the roots of these patterns, often developed as survival mechanisms in early life or previous relationships. We’ll explore how your history has shaped your responses, and I’ll support you in learning healthier ways to connect with others.
Through our sessions, you’ll gain tools to:
-Build your self-worth independent of external validation
-Set clear, compassionate boundaries that feel authentic to you
-Recognize the signs of unhealthy attachment and rewrite your narrative
-Foster a sense of inner security and resilience
Therapy with me isn’t about a quick fix, but meaningful change. We’ll focus on reclaiming your sense of self, strengthening your voice, and freeing yourself from relationships that don’t serve your growth. Let’s work together to break these cycles and create the space for connections that uplift, respect, and honor who you truly are.
