Birgit Schreiber
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
This is a very interesting area as many of us depend on others, but when it becomes detrimental and we find ourselves in a relationship that is causing us much harm or worry, then it is useful to examine why we struggle to change something.

I this situation, I will help you see that you don't need what you think you need from another - I will support your return to you - to move through separation anxiety, worthlessness, shame, guilt, to take the weight of your shoulders and come home to you...just You as you are when you fully listen to the tiniest voice in your heart

Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
Codependency can look so different from person to person and relationship to relationship. Often times when we are in these types of relationships, we can feel fully dependent on others to meet all our attachment needs and can feel extremely powerless, insecure, and fearful when these needs aren't met. For others, it can look like needing to take control of most aspects of the relationship and our partners to create a sense of certainty and security, which can leave us in distress when we lose that "control". I hope to help you understand your feelings and needs, learn how to express those to your partner, set healthy boundaries, and build independence and internal self-esteem.

I believe it is important to interrogate the etiology of codependency which has become such a buzz word in pop psychology. Codependency may have its roots in early attachment trauma - the inability of a caregiver to form a safe and stable relationship with their child. However, it is also important to honour the cultural diversity of being in relationship and being in community. Western culture tells us we are supposed to be happy alone, when this is not the way humans lived for millennia. Collectivist cultures show us a different story of what it is to be in relationship.
Ultimately, learning to cultivate a sense of secure attachment, along with agency and flexible boundaries may be a way to walk the middle path in addressing codependency concerns.
