David Essel, M.S., O.M.
Counselor/Therapist, Master's Degree Psychology, Ordained All Faiths Minister
It takes a very conscious person, a very in touch person, to realize that our codependent ways are screwing up our self-esteem, confidence, friendships, intimate relationships, relationships with children, coworkers and even family members! david labeled codependency as "the largest addiction in the world!" in 2002. there are 2,000 definitions of codependency, which makes it hard for many to diagnose and heal from. From the "savior", to passive aggressive actions, to enabling....codependency destroys lives.

Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
I get asked a lot about codependency. It's a tricky concept and behavior pattern that is so easy to fall into particularly if we have had substance abuse or really any type of abuse in our relationship history. It's about seeking to control without knowing that's what we're doing. We will work on making choices that are consistent with your values so that you end up in meaningful relationships in which you be around the people in your life without compromising yourself.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My approach teaches you to depend on yourself and to be self-directed. You can learn to help yourself if you improve your discomfort tolerance for doing things for yourself, taking calculated risks, and accept yourself even when you fail.

Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Codependent relationships are often described as being marked by intimacy problems, dependency, control (including caretaking), denial, dysfunctional communication and boundaries, and high reactivity. There may be imbalance within the relationship, where one person is abusive or in control or supports or enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement.
Under this conception of codependency, the codependent person's sense of purpose within a relationship is based on making extreme sacrifices to satisfy their partner's needs. Codependent relationships signify a degree of unhealthy "clinginess" and needy behavior, where one person does not have self-sufficiency or autonomy. One or both parties depend on their loved one for fulfillment. The mood and emotions of the codependent are often determined by how they think other individuals perceive them (especially loved ones). This perception is self-inflicted and often leads to clingy, needy behavior which can hurt the health of the relationship.
Addressing codependency in one's life can be very freeing and is the key for many in establishing and defining a healthy relationship with self and others.
