Codependency
Whiteboard Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Co-dependency occurs when individuals find their identity solely by way of their interactions with others. These interactions might include romantic relationships, friend relationships, or relationship within their family network. While deeply held relationships are important for our emotional health, certain personality types are more prone to seeing these relationships become co-dependent ones which rob people of their individual identity as opposed to help foster it.

Codependent relationships can feel hopelessly stuck, seemingly impossible to leave or to negotiate. Unconscious emotions and patterns are often at work, interacting with our partner in ways we feel we don't have control over. Being able to talk deeply about this can lead to increasing understanding and freedom, as patterns and personal histories begin to make sense. Clarity can emerge, and with that the possibility of autonomy and choice.

Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) RPq, BA
Struggling with codependency can show up for us in so many different ways. Difficulty making independent decisions, needing approval, second guessing your choices, or choosing someone else's needs instead of your own. Codependency can be present in romantic relationships, friendships, co-workers, and families. This can feel exhausting and like you are in a state of constant unease. Together we'll work to learn where these behavioural patterns come from and how to change them into healthier relationships.

Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Co-dependency is a complex issue, and it's important to recognize that no two individuals struggling with co-dependency share the same symptoms or experiences. At our practice, we understand that co-dependency involves a pattern of giving too much of oneself at the expense of personal well-being, often finding it challenging to ask for our own needs to be met.
In co-dependency recovery, we focus on four essential areas to support your healing journey. Firstly, we help you refocus on yourself, fostering self-awareness and self-care. This involves exploring your own needs, desires, and values, and learning how to prioritize your own well-being without guilt or fear.
Secondly, we work on setting firm boundaries. Boundaries are crucial in maintaining healthy relationships and protecting your own emotional and physical boundaries. We assist you in developing effective communication skills to express your needs, desires, and limitations in a clear and assertive manner.
Thirdly, we guide you in identifying healthy relationships. We explore patterns and dynamics that may have contributed to co-dependency, enabling you to recognize and establish relationships that are based on mutual respect, reciprocity, and emotional balance.
Lastly, we incorporate internal family system work. This approach helps you understand the different parts of yourself and their roles in your co-dependency patterns. By exploring and healing these internal dynamics, you can develop healthier reactions and responses to challenging situations.
In our sessions, we will collaborate to understand your unique journey and tailor our approach to your specific needs. We will explore your past experiences, relationships, and learned reactions, helping you gain insight into how co-dependency developed and identifying strategies for growth and change.
Our goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for you to explore your co-dependency patterns and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. Together, we will work towards empowering you to break free from the cycle of co-dependency and cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation together.
