Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor
The common pattern in unhealthy relationship dynamics, is the "dance" between "the dominant controller" and the "compliant submissive." The "compliant submissive" typically "over functions" in the relationship, seeking to repair "ruptures" as they occur, and keep the relationship "connected" and moving forward. The "compliant submissive" is keeping themself "safe" through "pleaser" behaviors, trying to avoid conflict. This type of "survival" behavior is generally a result of inadequate attachment in childhood and fosters behaviors we refer to as "codependency." Therapy can be used for the purpose of "attachment repair" as a way of addressing the underlying cause of codependent behaviors.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I address codependency by combining psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward healthier relational dynamics. Recognizing the often complex and intertwined nature of codependent relationships, I incorporate biblical teachings on boundaries, self-worth, and dependence on God. Through therapeutic interventions, clients are encouraged to explore and understand the patterns of codependency, identifying unhealthy behaviors and fostering self-awareness. I integrate prayer and scriptural reflection to help clients find strength in their faith, emphasizing the importance of relying on God rather than solely on others for validation and fulfillment. Christian counseling for codependency often involves promoting a balanced understanding of love, emphasizing the significance of self-care, and encouraging clients to cultivate a deeper connection with their spiritual identity. By integrating Christian values, the counselor supports individuals in breaking free from codependent patterns and building relationships rooted in healthy interdependence and trust in God.

It is quite common to find ourselves in codependent relationships as adults, or recognize we were members of enmeshed family dynamics during childhood. Acknowledging that codependency is a part of your relationships is the first step toward changing codependent patterns. Together, we can identify practical and safe ways to set boundaries with others and explore what your needs are to develop and maintain healthy relationships.
