A good description of codependency is “when a person’s self-esteem rises and falls based on the other person’s mood, tone or experience.” But it is actually much more than that. The person is overly involved in the other person’s needs, wants, problems and issues. In reality, some of the nicest people in the world are codependent, and if not watched, all relationships have the potential to become codependent. Codependency takes healthy emotions and corrupts them. For example, empathy is a positive emotion, but in codependency the empathy rises to a level where there is no division between the two people. Generosity is also a beautiful emotion, but in codependency it turns into control and over enmeshment. In addition, the codependent person often feels excessively guilty for having any need that may create discomfort in the other person, even if the need is healthy and necessary for their emotional well-being.
The undoing of this pattern is crucial to finding one's joy and peace. We unpack this as it relates to one's relationships to others as well as to the relationship with oneself.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Codependency is not always as simple as “being too dependent.” Relationship patterns are shaped by culture, trauma, neurodivergence, family systems, values, survival strategies, and the ways we’ve learned to feel safe, loved, or needed.
Rather than assuming closeness, caregiving, or interdependence are automatically unhealthy, my approach is about exploring what actually feels balanced, supportive, and sustainable for you.
Together, we can look at patterns like people-pleasing, losing yourself, difficulty trusting your own needs, or fear of conflict — not to force independence for the sake of it, but to help you build healthier trust in yourself, clearer boundaries, and relationships that feel more intentional and workable.

Co-dependency is an expression of the False Self developed in a narcissistic &/or alcoholic home. It's the compulsion to find one's identity through the eyes of other people, instead of from inside oneself. (Blog : 2017)

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
Many clients are unaware that they exist in codependent relationships. They may feel frustrated and resentful in their relationships and yet may not understand that they themselves can start the process of change to build more fulfilling relationships. I work with clients to understand their family of origin, learn about their patterns and beliefs that do not serve them well anymore, and gain confidence to make changes that free them from codependency.

Transformative Codependency Therapy: Reclaim Your Power and Honour Your Needs
Hi, I'm Tracey, and I’m here to guide you on a heartfelt journey to break free from codependency and rediscover your true self. If you’re constantly seeking others’ approval, worrying about what they think, or abandoning your own needs to please them, I see how exhausting that can be. You might feel like you’re giving and helping, but when those efforts aren’t returned, resentment, anger, or disappointment can creep in, leaving you drained. I’ve been there, witnessing those patterns in myself and others, and I’m here to help you find a new way forward.
A Path to Healing Codependency
In our work together, we’ll gently uncover the part of you that keeps leaving yourself behind to meet others’ expectations. Codependency often feels natural—like you’re just being kind—but it can come with hidden strings, breeding stress when those expectations aren’t met. We’ll focus on healing that pattern by learning to deeply meet your own emotional needs, giving you the courage to set healthy boundaries without fear. I’ll support you in saying “no” when it feels scary and trusting that it’s okay to prioritize yourself, even if others react with upset or anger.
My approach is trauma-informed, intuitive, and tailored to your unique story. We’ll work on letting go of being controlled by others’ emotions, like their frustration or disappointment, and instead honour what you need to feel whole. This isn’t about becoming selfish—it’s about reclaiming your power and building relationships that feel balanced and authentic.
Start Your Journey to Freedom
You don’t have to keep leaking your energy to others’ demands. If you’re ready to heal codependency, set boundaries with confidence, and live from a place of self-trust, I’m here to walk with you. Let’s create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to honour your own heart. Book a consultation with me today, and let’s start this transformative journey together.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
I use Somatic Experiencing to help you tune into your own wants and needs so you can start learning to have a clearer sense of your boundaries, as well as the strength to set them.
A lot of relationships are labeled as 'codependent', but sometimes it can be more accurate to say that it's become easier for you to guess at what your partner wants than it is to know what you want.
Once you get more connected to what you want, it can become easier to have those conversations with your partner, and easier to stand strong in your needs.

Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Caregivers often put others’ needs above their own, suppressing emotions and taking on excessive responsibility. This pattern can lead to chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, and physical health challenges. I help clients to notice this pattern, access support, and cultivate self-compassion to create a healthier balance between caring for others and caring for themselves.

Codependency is a complex behavioural condition that can deeply impact relationships. It often involves relying heavily on another person for emotional support, self-worth, and even a sense of identity. This can create an environment where one's own needs and well-being take a backseat to the feelings and needs of the other person, which can be exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling.
If you find yourself struggling with codependency, know that you are not alone. Many people face challenges in setting boundaries, expressing their own needs, or maintaining a sense of individuality. You might feel a strong urge to please others, grapple with low self-esteem, or experience anxiety when you’re apart from someone you care about.
It's important to recognize and address these feelings, as doing so can pave the way for healthier, more balanced relationships. Seeking support through therapy, engaging in self-reflection, and developing self-care practices can be transformative steps on your journey toward emotional independence and personal growth. Remember, breaking the cycle of codependency is not only possible, but it can also lead to more fulfilling connections with others. Your well-being matters, and taking these steps can help you build a more empowering and satisfying life.
