Codependency

Codependency Therapy

Codependency is a dysfunctional dynamic relationship where one person sacrifices their own needs and well-being for someone else, often developing an unhealthy mental and emotional reliance on the other person.

Lets Move Forward and Develop Healthy Patterns

This type of relationship doesn’t exclusively apply to romantic partners. In fact, Codependency can occur with friends and family members. A codependent is intense in how one deals with emotional regulation, is easily manipulated, and is often unable to rely on oneself for stability.

Codependency is marked by a lopsided or unequal power dynamic where the giver enables the taker’s often harmful and irresponsible behaviour.
