A good description of codependency is “when a person’s self-esteem rises and falls based on the other person’s mood, tone or experience.” But it is actually much more than that. The person is overly involved in the other person’s needs, wants, problems and issues. In reality, some of the nicest people in the world are codependent, and if not watched, all relationships have the potential to become codependent. Codependency takes healthy emotions and corrupts them. For example, empathy is a positive emotion, but in codependency the empathy rises to a level where there is no division between the two people. Generosity is also a beautiful emotion, but in codependency it turns into control and over enmeshment. In addition, the codependent person often feels excessively guilty for having any need that may create discomfort in the other person, even if the need is healthy and necessary for their emotional well-being.
The undoing of this pattern is crucial to finding one's joy and peace. We unpack this as it relates to one's relationships to others as well as to the relationship with oneself.

Peter Stathakos
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, BBA, MDiv, MSW, CMAT, CSAT
Depending on others' approval or a sense of purpose is a very stressful life. It can feel very scary to be alone while having someone close romantically can feel overwhelming. Despite these extremes, you wish for more stability. I have experience helping people discover and build internal structures so they can be themselves and feel safe with others.

entangled relationships start when we are born and are learned behaviours. Learning to create healthy boundaries and recognize each person is still seperate within the relationship can help create healthy relationships.

Gwen Schauerte
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, M.Ed.
Codependency can feel confusing and confounding. We are trying to sort out "who am I and who is the other?" Setting and maintaining boundaries and developing self awareness can be just two responses. The reward of doing this work is a clearer sense of one's self in relation to others.

I'll draw on relational, attachment-based, and psychodynamic approaches to help you understand and shift codependency patterns. 'Codependency' has become a stigmatized term, which can leave people feeling stuck or even ashamed. I think it's important to have a compassionate lens towards this relational dynamic and why it's developed. First, we'll work together to explore what codependency is like for you. What needs does it fulfill or not? What fears does it soothe or ignite? What longings are being expressed or repressed? We'll also explore how you can fulfill your needs for intimacy and safety in ways that also honour your boundaries. We may need to make space for inner conflicts between connection and individuality. How can those co-exist in your relationships? Alone, it may be hard to see beyond codependency—together, we can open up new possibilities for a more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist
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.
