It’s time to take up spacein your life.

 

Does it feel like you keep giving, but you have nothing left to give?

Life has become a “whack-a-mole” for you. You take care of one person’s problem only to find another one pop up that needs solving. You’ve lost yourself in taking care of others’ needs and your needs have taken a back seat. You feel depleted, like there’s no gas left in the tank to focus on yourself.

Healthy boundaries feel hard for you, but you can learn how to set limits with others, say what you really mean, and take better care of yourself.

Let us help you regain a sense of balance in your life.

 

You can change your codependent patterns.

We can help.

Therapy for codependency helps you bring a healthy focus to yourself.

During sessions, we will get to know you and figure out your needs. This is sometimes an uncomfortable experience–looking inward and listening to yourself. That’s ok, because it’s a process. We help you build an awareness of the internal stuff by learning how to notice emotions, soothe tension in your body, and to not be so hard on yourself.

We work together in therapy to help you learn the skills you need to live the life you’ve been wanting. A peaceful, purposeful and balanced life doesn’t have to be a fantasy. But to get there, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves with us during sessions and practice noticing your thoughts, paying attention to your limits, learning about boundaries, and being accountable to yourself.

Because this is what healing from codependency is all about–building a healthy relationship with yourself. To do that, it will require your willingness to commit to yourself.

FAQS

What others have wondered about codependency therapy

 

  • Codependency is a set of behaviors related to over-caretaking in relationships while under-caretaking for yourself. The term codependent was originally used in the context of how addiction affects both the person with addiction and their family. Today, codependency can be applied to situations beyond addiction–”toxic” or unhealthy relationship patterns, conflict avoidance, feeling overly responsible for others, or neglecting yourself while taking care of someone else are a few examples.

  • First of all, let’s remember that codependency is on a continuum. On one end of the continuum, there are a set of behaviors that are healthy or “ok”, such as taking care of your children or listening to your spouse vent after a bad day. On the other end of the continuum are a set of behaviors that have been taken too far, like losing a sense of who you are or getting obsessive about your partner’s actions. It’s always important to consider if certain patterns are causing you significant worry, stress, and unhappiness. If you find yourself focusing too much on others, sacrificing your needs, trying to fix people or their problems, or pushing down your emotions, it’s possible that you’re experiencing codependent patterns in your life. It’s not in our nature to label you or anyone in your life–understanding and learning about ourselves is key. One way you can explore codependent patterns is by reaching out for help from an experienced mental health professional.

  • We help you understand how codependency developed in your life. Understanding ourselves is an important ingredient for change. We will also invite you to bring a healthy focus to yourself and your internal world by teaching you mindfulness skills. Mindfulness of your thoughts and emotions will be your stepping stone into taking better care of yourself, managing your life and your boundaries, and expressing yourself in a healthy way. Whenever therapy comes to a close, you will not be searching for your value in other people’s eyes–you will find value within yourself.
