Codependency therapists in Casa Grande, Arizona AZ
Kathy Anderson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LAMFT
Codependency is a "buzz word" in therapy, as well as in mainstream society. Unfortunately, codependency is often misconstrued as a character flaw, when in reality, it's an adaptive pattern of interaction that has developed as a brilliant survival strategy -- it's just not working for the context of the relationship anymore. Codependency results from a need to keep oneself safe from rejection or abandonment, so a sense of prediction or anticipation is developed with regards to the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of other people. If you feel like you or your partner are codependent, let's take a look at where this adaptation comes from and what it's seemingly helping you with. Couple therapy can help you to form an awareness around your fears and help you to be healthy, autonomous people while managing them well.

Urim Recovery, LLC
Therapist, Certified Trauma Therapist, LCSW
Whether its help learning to love yourself when no one is there, knowing that you are enough or saying no when your gut says no, I will help you explore what your codependency means to you and how to be close to those you care about without losing yourself. Truth be told, there are varying characterizations of codependency. I don't believe you should let a label rob you of your desire to connect with another and express your being this way. The key is to determine whether the way you attach is depleting you and robbing you of your authentic self. Let me guide you through practical strategies to help you set boundaries and promote self-care and compassion.
