Codependency
Lisa Willow
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider
I use the work of Melody Beattie and Codependent No More to support clients with healing Codependency. Trying to fix and change another person, rescuing them, enabling, and saccrificing our own self by focussing on another person in order to feel "ok" are some of the behaviours that we use when we are involved in Codependent relationships. Through education, self awareness, proccessing, and change, we can become free from these kinds of relationships.

Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Codependency reveals a complex dance of enmeshment and emotional dependency rooted in early relational patterns. Shaped by experiences of attachment insecurity and past traumas, individuals navigate relationships characterized by excessive care taking, people-pleasing, and a blurred sense of self. Like tendrils reaching from the past, these patterns perpetuate cycles of dysfunction and reinforce feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. Therapy offers a transformative space for unraveling these intricate dynamics, fostering awareness of unhealthy relational patterns and reclaiming autonomy and self-worth. Through healing attachment wounds and addressing underlying trauma, individuals can cultivate healthier boundaries and authentic connections, breaking free from the chains of codependency and rediscovering the power of their own agency and identity.

Do you feel like you rely "too much" on meeting the needs of others, or never putting yourself first? Would you describe yourself as a people pleaser, or as someone who would like to learn how to have relationships as bonuses in our lives vs. feeling our actions are guided by others or by eggshells? Claim your free consult to start changing how this feels today.

Jilleun Tenning
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
With ADHD, ADD and Autism, one might lean on the people around them more to help in areas we are limited such as executive function (including things like decision-making, prioritization of tasks, working memory issues etc.). That sometimes creates an unhealthy or codependent relationship where there is a caregiving dynamic to the point that resentment grows. In counselling, you can develop the awareness and skills around your relationship patterns, and learn how to respond differently so that you and your loved ones can be well.
