Codependency
Dr. Karen Perez
Licensed Professional Counselor, PsyD, PhD, LPC, LLP
People with codependency often put everyone else’s needs above their own. As a result, they can develop feelings of resentment and emptiness. They may also find themselves in toxic relationships. Therapy can help a person develop healthier ways of interacting with others. Learning, and allowing yourself to draw healthy boundaries can in fact benefit a relationship. When people communicate clearly what they do and do not want, there is less room for misunderstandings. A “no” can also help someone prioritize their time and energy on the tasks that really matter. Over time, the codependent person may develop more energy and a better mood. These changes can improve the relationship as a whole.

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.

Dr. Natassia Johnson
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC
Relationships matter, but overly relying on relationships to make you feel whole and complete is an issue. It's important to balance the worth you generate from self and the worth you generate from loved ones around you.
