Codependency
Brandi Rosgen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, B.Ed, MACP, MPCC
Everyone is codependent to a certain degree. People do not often recognize codependency as an issue when it is the issue. Codependency can contribute to, create and sustain, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges.
Codependency involves sacrificing one’s personal needs to try to meet the needs of others. Someone who is codependent has an extreme focus outside themselves. Their thoughts and actions revolve around other people, such as spouses or relatives.
Codependency often appears in relationships that are unbalanced and unhealthy. A person with codependency often tries to save others from themselves. An example is a wife not purchasing things for herself because her husband overspends but juggles the bills and never discusses the overspending. She is trying to save him from his overspending by compensating and going without what she needs. Another example is when family members protect their family by keeping their problems private. But enabling one party’s abuse usually causes harm to the other family members, especially those being abused.
It can be complicated and challenging to identify codependent behaviour in one's self and even harder to heal. If you suspect your codependent behaviour is causing or contributing to your anxiety, depression or relationship concerns, contact me today to begin your healing and relief.

Eric Fisher
Counsellor/Therapist, MS, CCC
Concerning codependency, I've worked with men and women in process groups as well as individually in dealing with codependency. I assist them in learning ways to work on codependent behaviours not suitable for their personal needs, goals, and values. Every person is unique in this area.
