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.

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.

Do you find yourself often worrying about how others are handling things, or wanting to fix their moods for them? Do you fear rejection or abandonment, and find yourself on eggshells to avoid conflict? Do you feel guilty when you want to say 'no' to someone?

Pathway to Hope Counselling - Robyn Faulkner
Pre-Licensed Professional, RTC-c
Do you feel abused, trapped and fearful in your relationship(s)? Many people in co-dependent relationships feel this way and often give up their power to others. The thought of befriending yourself may make you feel fearful. We don't have to shame or blame ourselves for this condition. We simply need to recognize, own and embody our sense of self and power. This is healthy and the most loving thing you can do for yourself. I can support you in becoming more of yourself and releasing the feelings of guilt and shame.
