Melanie Bettes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, Coach
Does everyone (or a specific someone) around you have to 'be ok' for you to feel ok? Does your mood and emotional regulation depend on another person? Maybe you're a perfectionist or a people pleaser. Maybe you are a high achiever, but feel like you don't actually belong or are accepted in your field. All of these things are related to codependency. Break free from the perceived expectations of others and live for YOU. Figure out who matters and who doesn't in the grand scheme. The first step is calling.

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.
