Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency, with it's hidden hooks in your nervous systems is difficult to break working on the surface with behaviors. Codependence occurs when each person in the relationship depends on the other person as a means of regulating their nervous system. It creates a magnetic pull and was shaped during early life relationships, being passed down from generation to generation. At Rhythm for Living, Shelly helps partnered coupes as well as parent/child groups to develop their functioning to be emotionally delinked and relationally connected. Shelly has a strong passion for working with couples and families breaking what would otherwise be an inevitable transfer of dysfunction to generations to come. She personally knows the beauty in relationships once the pattern is broken and healthy co- and self-regulation are restored.

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.
