Stop Codependent Behaviors.
Learn to break patterns of codependency and put yourself first.
What is Codependency?
Codependent relationships happen when one person perpetuates or enables the destructive behavioral patterns of another, usually at their own expense and to the detriment of the relationship. Codependent relationships can happen in a variety of settings, including romantic, familial, and platonic, and often occur when one person has narcissistic/disordered personality traits or is suffering from addiction.
Signs of codependency can include:
Ignoring or minimizing the other’s problems
Feeling responsible for the other person’s problems or feelings
Avoiding conflict at all costs
Putting the other’s needs above your own
Enabling behaviors like providing money, shelter, or physical care to the other when they are engaging in addictive or negative behaviors
In our sessions together, I will teach you how to:
Recognize the codependent behaviors you are engaging in so you can feel confident in your ability to start changing them
Learn realistic strategies to help you cope with your loved one’s behaviors and effectively manage your codependent habits
Establish healthy boundaries with your loved one that stop the codependent cycle while still allowing you to express compassion
Create concrete goals you can work towards to regain your autonomy and start putting your needs first
Living with an addict or a loved one with a mental health or personality disorder can be difficult in many ways. It is normal to feel guilty and helpless. By getting support through therapy, you can start building a healthier relationship with your loved one and can begin putting your needs first. You can love your partner, parent, child, or sibling and still have healthy boundaries.
Build Healthier Relationships.
