Codependency

You find yourself stuck in a pattern of people pleasing. You're a good listener, someone others go to vent to. While that is a part of your relational strength, you're also intimidated by conflicts and exposed differences between you and your partner and friends. You put great effort into mirroring and reading the room to alleviate tension with others and within yourself. You'd love to embrace your authentic self and know that ruptures in your relationships don't have to be an ultimatum.

If you’re struggling to find your identity within the relationship or just keep picking partners that leave your needs unmet, it may be time to learn how to appropriately set boundaries! Once we identify red flags and continue to process unhealthy patterns, it becomes easier to find your value either within or without a relationship.

Codependency as described by Pia Mellody, author of Facing Codependence, by symptoms of difficulty with self-esteem, boundaries, owning one's reality, acknowledging and meeting one's wants and needs, and expressing reality in moderation.

Do you struggle setting boundaries or knowing what you want? For years I’ve worked with clients who struggle with codependency and low self worth. Codependency is an emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individual’s ability to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship.

Through a unique combination of mindset work, somatic practices, and relationship role work, I support my clients to develop healthy boundaries in relationships, access healing and practical strategies for increasing self-esteem and autonomy, and utilize simple tools to help them individuate from their families of origin and form their own identities while also being in relationship with others.

Putting others people in front of yourself to your detriment is my definition of codependency. Let's explore what if any, issues this might be causing in your life.

When your relationship with someone you love demands more from you than you understand how to give, it can be difficult to maintain boundaries that allow you to feel like your own needs can be met in the relationship. It can often feel like you are not aware anymore of what your own needs are. When loved ones struggle with addiction or other mental health problems, codependency is the result of having a relationship with them and this can be managed so you can be well, even if they are not.

Knowing one's own desires, thoughts, and feelings is not a skill that all of us are taught in childhood. Therapy is a place to explore your truth in a kind, safe and empathic environment. Paying close attention to your emotional life will lead to a better understanding of yourself in relation to others. Becoming curious about your internal landscape will lead to a stronger sense of self.

Codependency most often comes from growing up in a dysfunctional environment with underlying trauma at the core. The manifested symptoms are vast and can include; the belief that you need someone or something outside of yourself to feel whole, being so absorbed by other's problems (addiction, illness, etc) that you don't take care of yourself, having the need to control people and events because you feel out of control inside or being unable to set boundaries or say no.

Conflict most frequently surfaces when one partner begins to define their identity outside of the relationship which is a necessary and healthy transition.

Do you struggle with boundaries, people pleasing and unbalanced relationships? You don't have to do this alone.

Codependence is the constant sacrifice of yourself in order to maintain a relationship. This can be very unsatisfying, enraging and leads to becoming smaller and hopeless in your relationships. It is scary to consider addressing the ways in which you might compromise yourself in relationships. Investigating this part of you does not mean you need to take action and end relationships. It means you get to feel like you have a choice in who you invite in and how you welcome them to your

Codependency means so much more than enabling with someone you love and today this idea has expanded to include adults who may or may not have lived with an addict. Codependency can more accurately be defined as the tendency to put others needs before your own; accommodating to others to such a degree that you tend to discount or ignore your own feelings, desires and basic needs.
