Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Codependency is a behavioral and emotional condition that often manifests in dysfunctional, one-sided relationships where individuals excessively prioritize the needs and well-being of others at the expense of their own. This pattern of codependency may lead to difficulties in setting healthy boundaries, low self-esteem, and a reliance on external validation for a sense of self-worth. People struggling with codependency may find themselves entangled in relationships marked by excessive caretaking, enabling, or seeking validation from others. Breaking free from codependent patterns often involves self-awareness, establishing healthy boundaries, and fostering a more balanced sense of self that allows for independent growth and mutual respect within relationships. Therapeutic intervention, such as counseling or support groups, can be instrumental in helping individuals navigate and overcome codependency, fostering healthier and more fulfilling connections with others.

Counsellor/Therapist, RN, MN
For individuals who struggle with codependency, our existence is based on getting other peoples approval and and caring a lot about what other people think to the point you may abandon your needs constantly to please others in relationships. This may feel natural, like you are giving, helping and saving but this doesn't come without expectation. Codependent behaviour when not met with what we want back, may breed a lot of resentment, anger and disappointment. Feeling drained, leaking our power and stressing because of what others think can be a consequence. We work together to heal the part of you that keeps leaving yourself, we learn to deeply meet our own emotional needs so we can have the courage to build some healthy boundaries in our relationships. We learn to say no when we are afraid to and trusting that it's okay to not meet other people's needs based on their emotional reactions. We learn to not get controlled by others upset emotions and anger. We learn to honour what we need for ourselves.
