Women go through many transitions in a lifetime. Whether in early adulthood of self-identity, sexual orientation, starting and graduating college, and transitioning into a career. In adulthood where work-life balance begins, we question the nature of our relationships, we contemplate on marriage and we find patterns that we would like to change. For other stages in life such as midlife plateaus, thoughts of retirement, and making peace to past experiences. This is for you, to talk, cry and figure it out in a compassionate space.

You are feeling overwhelmed, confused, and exhausted. You feel disconnected from yourself and have lost sight of your inherent value and purpose. You likely define yourself as a high-achieving, creative type, yet you are feeling stuck as though there is something keeping you from reaching your potential. You struggle to shake off the past and fully embrace yourself in the present moment. There are parts of yourself you are proud to show the world and parts that are heavily guarded and criticized. You are torn between validating your internal strength while also acknowledging your desire for relief and healing.

Codependency Therapists

What therapy types help with codependency problems?

Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?

Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?

Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?

One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
