Ajay Sahota

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Growing up in a home with an Alcoholic parent can be an unstable experience. You never know what to expect. If you have experienced chaos in your childhood, dealt with unpredictable mental state of your parent, and witnessed and responded to ongoing unsafe situations, then this will be familiar to you. In an unpredictable home, it can be difficult to trust yourself and your experiences. To survive, and avoid, sometimes you need to bottle up your feelings so much that you forget how to experience emotions. When your needs are ignored, seeking approval from others can result in losing your own identity. Feeling responsible for others can outweigh your own needs and wellbeing. I have been providing counselling services in the community since 2014. I have supported many people who have a loved one struggling with addiction. I am excited to support you as you heal from some or all of the above experiences. Counselling can also help you set healthier boundaries in relationships and start putting your own needs and safety first. Many adult children of alcoholics (ACOA): Carry shame. Remember how they hid their parent’s addiction. Experienced an alcoholic parent’s behaviours and reactions. Have experienced domestic abuse, violence, neglect, and unpredictable behaviours. Experience worry and anxiety. Avoid family/events. Have internalized negative beliefs. Have never experienced being fully cared for. Feel a sense worthlessness and resentment. Take care of an alcoholic parent, putting their own needs last.

Codependency

Candace Plattor

Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When we keep trying to put other people's needs ahead of our own, we lose ourselves in terms of our self-care and our self-respect. Often families do this with the addicts they love - and it creates a lose-lose situation for everyone concerned,

Comox Valley, British Columbia therapist: Julie Taylor Counselling, counselor/therapist
Codependency

Julie Taylor Counselling

Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Codependency is a term given to the well meaning - and often essential - 'support' of those people who abuse and rely on the service of loved ones, friends and colleagues to maintain their abusive and addictive behaviour. Often if we are raised with an abusive person in our environment, we learn to excel at supporting those abusers and thus are prone to be attractive to yet more abuse. We can break this chain when we thoroughly explore, process and discuss these behaviours.

Codependency

Sarah Bickle

Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Codependency can trap you in cycles of unhealthy relationships, where you may prioritize others' needs over your own and struggle to set boundaries. In therapy, we’ll work to identify patterns of codependency, explore their roots, and develop healthier relational dynamics. I’ll guide you in building stronger self-esteem and teaching you how to balance care for yourself with care for others. With compassionate support, you can break free from these patterns and cultivate more authentic, fulfilling connections.
