Codependency
Codependency
Is your self-esteem bolstered by outer/other influences (people, looks, material things)? Codependency refers to excessive emotional or psychological reliance on another person a substance or behavior. It is defined when someone becomes so preoccupied with someone else that they neglect themselves.
The common belief is that something outside of yourself can bring you happiness and fulfillment. This is an unhealthy and dysfunctional way to live.
I have seen first-hand the devastating effects that Codependency brings. It can get so pervasive that it can literally suck the life out of you. Together, you will learn self-empowerment techniques and how to increase your self-esteem, heal your loneliness, learn how to set and stick to boundaries and much more. Whether you are in a relationship, part of the LGBTQ community, or single you don’t have to repeat patterns and you can heal from this dynamic.
The therapy model we will use will help you discover how to deal with codependency, allowing you to become the source of your own happiness rather than depending on someone or something else.
