Sometimes we learn dysfunctional ways of being in relation with others. The problem comes as we grow up and get out into the world and attempt to have good sustainable relationships. We will explore family systems and dynamics, as well as setting healthy boundaries and looking at what a healthy relationship looks like.

The common pattern in unhealthy relationship dynamics, is the "dance" between "the dominant controller" and the "compliant submissive." The "compliant submissive" typically "over functions" in the relationship, seeking to repair "ruptures" as they occur, and keep the relationship "connected" and moving forward. The "compliant submissive" is keeping themself "safe" through "pleaser" behaviors, trying to avoid conflict. This type of "survival" behavior is generally a result of inadequate attachment in childhood and fosters behaviors we refer to as "codependency." Therapy can be used for the purpose of "attachment repair" as a way of addressing the underlying cause of codependent behaviors.

Relationships matter, but overly relying on relationships to make you feel whole and complete is an issue. It's important to balance the worth you generate from self and the worth you generate from loved ones around you.

Codependency is a popular term these days. It can be subtle or much more overt. Frequently seen with other problematic relationship problems, substance abuse, depression and anxiety. Many times this is seen passed through families. We are not sure if it is a nature or nurture thing. Therapy can be a helpful part of the puzzle. Treatment tends to take longer with this stuff.
