Alexandria, Virginia therapist: Abby Cobey, psychologist
Codependency

Abby Cobey

Psychologist, PsyD
I get asked a lot about codependency. It's a tricky concept and behavior pattern that is so easy to fall into particularly if we have had substance abuse or really any type of abuse in our relationship history. It's about seeking to control without knowing that's what we're doing. We will work on making choices that are consistent with your values so that you end up in meaningful relationships in which you be around the people in your life without compromising yourself.

Las Galeras, Samana therapist: Bill Dennis, counselor/therapist
Codependency

Bill Dennis

Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed., C.E.O.
Collaborative, interdisciplinary, and integrative? What does this mean; honesty, fearlessness, laughter, and joy; mind, body, spirit. We often work in communities or groups with a focus on each person and purpose and work. Strength and flexibility come from inner and other work. There is always room to expand, grow, learn, commune, and replace one thing with a healthier thing. We will also work on practices that support change and focus. Community is essential for fear of any kind. Healthy communication requires a commitment to telling the truth to ourselves and others.

Codependency

Pat Dudley

Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LCPC, NCC
Codependency is a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. Among the core characteristics of codependency is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity. In our work together, we will explore/examine the issues related to the behavior and improve the reasoning behind co-dependency.

Roswell, Georgia therapist: Alan Brandis, Ph.D., psychologist
Codependency

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.

Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years. "Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.
