I firmly believe we are created to live life in the present with joy, peace and love. However, we are inundated with media, messages and influences that leave us stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. We strive, push, and repeat unhealthy coping patterns. It is exhausting! Eventually, you find yourself lashing out at your loved ones, becoming judgmental, staying busy and disconnected, blaming others or being mad for reasons you can't remember. The patterns and ways of being can change, but it takes more than talk therapy.

You wake up every day feeling like you’re already behind. The worry starts before your feet hit the floor, and it doesn’t stop. The endless what-ifs, the overthinking, the intrusive thoughts, the dread of feeling that something’s going to go wrong. It’s like you’re constantly bracing for impact, but no one else can see it. You’ve done everything you can to keep it together, but deep down, it feels like a losing battle. You’re not weak, you’re not overreacting—anxiety is just that heavy.

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.
