Codependency therapists in Templeton, Massachusetts MA

Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage and Family Therapist MFT
You might call Codependency an addiction to "taking care of others at my own expense," or "an addiction to being in relationship with an abuser." A definite Behavioral addiction! My modality of choice is Image Transformation Therapy and the Feeling State model. I find this model creates actual behavioral and motivational change, not just curbing my "take care of" behavior and gutting it out. I back this up with EMDR and the Feeling State Addiction Protocol.

Codependency can mean enabling behaviors in such a way that one loses themselves and their identity. Our focus here would be to finding the origin of these behaviors and working on bringing the client back to having their own individual identity with appropriate boundaries and healthy self-image.

Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Codependency generally results in the individual working so hard to care for the addicted loved one that the codependent individual's needs are neglected, which can also result in poor health, low self-esteem, depression, and other mental and physical consequences.

Greta Cowles Consulting
Life Coach, LMFT, SEP, PIT, Trauma Stress Studies
Resolving childhood trauma and stress will eliminate the need for codependent behavior, which stems from childhood distorted messages. Set boundaries effectively, develop self-worth, and an inner sense of safety that is not dependent on external variables.
