entangled relationships start when we are born and are learned behaviours. Learning to create healthy boundaries and recognize each person is still seperate within the relationship can help create healthy relationships.

All relationships go through rocky periods where we start to question ourselves, but codependent relationships have certain enduring characteristics that make them particularly difficult. In a codependent relationship you can have trouble saying no, setting boundaries, and taking care of your needs. Maybe you feel tired all the time but have a hard time slowing down. You might feel you need to do everyone's work, or it won't get done. Codependency can leave you feeling angry, frustrated, and resentful.
If you are on the flip side of a codependent relationship, you might feel confused about your partner’s reactions. Maybe you feel that someone is always nagging you? In codependent relationships, neither person is happy. One feels they are doing too much and the other does not understand what all the fuss is about. This can be a vicious cycle where neither partner feels understood or appreciated.
Counselling about codependency can help you understand these patterns and get to the heart of the matter. Contact us for a consultation to learn more.

Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy

Co-dependency is a complex issue, and it's important to recognize that no two individuals struggling with co-dependency share the same symptoms or experiences. At our practice, we understand that co-dependency involves a pattern of giving too much of oneself at the expense of personal well-being, often finding it challenging to ask for our own needs to be met.
In co-dependency recovery, we focus on four essential areas to support your healing journey. Firstly, we help you refocus on yourself, fostering self-awareness and self-care. This involves exploring your own needs, desires, and values, and learning how to prioritize your own well-being without guilt or fear.
Secondly, we work on setting firm boundaries. Boundaries are crucial in maintaining healthy relationships and protecting your own emotional and physical boundaries. We assist you in developing effective communication skills to express your needs, desires, and limitations in a clear and assertive manner.
Thirdly, we guide you in identifying healthy relationships. We explore patterns and dynamics that may have contributed to co-dependency, enabling you to recognize and establish relationships that are based on mutual respect, reciprocity, and emotional balance.
Lastly, we incorporate internal family system work. This approach helps you understand the different parts of yourself and their roles in your co-dependency patterns. By exploring and healing these internal dynamics, you can develop healthier reactions and responses to challenging situations.
In our sessions, we will collaborate to understand your unique journey and tailor our approach to your specific needs. We will explore your past experiences, relationships, and learned reactions, helping you gain insight into how co-dependency developed and identifying strategies for growth and change.
Our goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for you to explore your co-dependency patterns and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. Together, we will work towards empowering you to break free from the cycle of co-dependency and cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation together.
