Codependency
Jennifer Fukushima
Registered Psychotherapist, registered psychotherapist
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.

Navigating healthy relationships can be an area of struggle for many adults. In our work together you can expect to explore some of the relationship patterns that are causing you distress. Changing your relationship patterns may include recognizing and communicating safe and secure boundaries, directly communicating your needs and feelings, creating greater understanding of other people’s reactions and developing goals for how you would like to show up authentically.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
I specialize in codependency in women. Codependency starts in childhood when you begin people pleasing to feel loved and accepted. You lose a sense of who you are, lack boundaries, and have a hard time being assertive. You may have anxiety/depression, low self worth and reach outside of yourself to fill that emptiness inside. I can help you manage your emotions instead of feeling overwhelmed by them and feel fulfilled and confident.
