Codependency Counseling
Addressing and Recalibrating Patterns of Codependency
Codependency can significantly affect the dynamics of relationships, often leading to unhealthy dependencies and emotional entanglements. At Enlightened Living Therapy, we specialize in helping individuals recognize and recalibrate patterns of codependency, promoting healthier and more autonomous relationships.
Understanding Codependency
Codependency is a learned behavior that often stems from childhood and family dynamics. As adults, it manifests in relationships where one person puts others needs before their own to the detriment of their emotional health and well-being. This may result in a chronic sense of responsibility for a partner’s actions and a constant need for approval. Understanding the signs and dynamics of codependency is crucial for recovery and building healthier relationship patterns.
Strategies for Overcoming Codependency
Awareness and Education
We start by helping you recognize the signs of codependency in your relationships and understand its impact on your life.
Setting Boundaries
Learning to set healthy boundaries is essential in overcoming codependency. We guide you in identifying and maintaining boundaries that protect your sense of self and promote independence.
Building Self-Esteem
Enhancing your self-esteem is key to reducing codependency. We focus on improving your self-worth through positive affirmations, accomplishments, and self-care.
Developing Emotional Autonomy
We assist you in finding ways to detach emotionally from the need to control or save others, fostering a sense of personal empowerment.
Improving Communication Skills
Effective communication is crucial in renegotiating the terms of relationships. We help you develop assertiveness and clarity in expressing your needs and desires.
