If you are codependent, this can seep into every aspect of your life, not necessarily healthily. A codependent relationship can make you feel like you're giving everything of yourself, until there's nothing left to give. Many people don't realize they're in a codependent relationship cycle until the exhaustion and resentment issues become overwhelming and are too much to ignore. Even then, they may not recognize that codependency is the culprit. At its core, codependency means losing touch with your own needs while over-investing in the needs of others. Even if it feels familiar and comfortable, it's not a sustainable way to live.

Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
The way that I often work with clients in relation to codependency is by integrating a humanistic approach with the use of somatic approaches which focus on the body's role in storing and expressing trauma. These techniques help clients release trapped energy and build a sense of safety within their own bodies. Methods include:
- Body awareness exercises that help clients tune into physical sensations and identify areas of tension or discomfort.
- Breathwork and grounding techniques to regulate the nervous system and promote relaxation.
I work with codependent clients to help you recognise and change unhealthy relational patterns by:
- Exploring the origins of your codependent behaviours and the unmet needs driving them. We may use parts work if this feels helpful to you.
- Teaching assertiveness and communication skills to enable clients to express your needs and set healthy boundaries.
- Supporting clients in gradually shifting your focus from external validation to internal self-worth.
With integrating a Trauma-Informed Practice:
A trauma-informed approach ensures that therapy is sensitive to the impacts of trauma and prioritises the client's safety and empowerment. Key principles include:
- Recognizing the widespread impact of trauma and understanding its signs and symptoms.
- Avoiding re-traumatisation by being mindful of triggers and respecting the client's pace.
- Collaborating with clients to set goals and involve you actively in your healing process.
Working with codependent clients through an integrative humanistic and somatic trauma-informed approach offers a compassionate and effective pathway to healing. By addressing the deep-seated roots of codependency in trauma, therapists can help clients build healthier relationships, develop a stronger sense of self, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives.

Codependance is basically a dependance (sometimes for reasons beyond one's control) on someone, often family member or members who is or are dysfunctional, leaving the co-dependant with a dminshed sense of self.

James Darby
Registered Psychotherapist, Postgraduate Diploma Core Process Psychotherapy, DCHyp, ABSCH, MBA
Co-dependency often involves deeply ingrained patterns of self-sacrifice, emotional dependency, and a lack of personal boundaries, rooted in unresolved emotional wounds from childhood development and relational dynamics. I can help individuals to explore and understand these patterns by helping people to understand how unmet needs from the past can be unconsciously reenacted in their current adult relationships. The intention being that with such understanding the clients I work with can begin to move towards healthier, more boundaried, collaborative and interdependent relationships with their friends and loved ones.

Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
Codependency is fundamentally a nervous system pattern - a deep-rooted orientation toward others' emotional states that developed as a survival strategy and never got updated. Understanding this intellectually rarely shifts it. The work happens at the level of the body: learning to locate your own internal experience, to stay with it under relational pressure, and to build the felt sense of self that makes genuine boundaries possible.
