Codependency therapists in Cornwall, Ontario ON, Canada CA

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, M.Ed.
Codependency can feel confusing and confounding. We are trying to sort out "who am I and who is the other?" Setting and maintaining boundaries and developing self awareness can be just two responses. The reward of doing this work is a clearer sense of one's self in relation to others.

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.

The main sign of codependency is consistently elevating the needs of others above your own. Other signs include controlling behaviors, self-sacrifice, and fear of rejection. But these aren’t the only ones. We help with emphasizing that the importance is to seak self love and self care above all and see self value.
