But, if I don't then I'll be alone. They'll leave me. I'm not enough without....
Have you said these words or thought them? Or felt them? Or maybe you're unsure why you need others the way you do? Maybe you live in judgment of feeling this way? What is this survival mechanism doing in your pocket? Why won't it go away?
There are many things behind this and they can be explore and revealed with time and patience.

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 the exhausting dynamics of dealing with someone's harmful, impulsive, and controlling behavior can lead to profound personal transformations. Whether you find yourself in the role of the controller or the one being controlled and experiencing a sense of taking rather than giving is a scenario I have been trained to address.

Codependency is a relationship pattern where a person supporting someone they care about and giving of themselves at the cost of their own mental, emotional, and physical health. Codependency is a learned behavior that can be corrected. With counselling, more effective relationship patterns and coping strategies can be developed.
