The common pattern in unhealthy relationship dynamics, is the "dance" between "the dominant controller" and the "compliant submissive." The "compliant submissive" typically "over functions" in the relationship, seeking to repair "ruptures" as they occur, and keep the relationship "connected" and moving forward. The "compliant submissive" is keeping themself "safe" through "pleaser" behaviors, trying to avoid conflict. This type of "survival" behavior is generally a result of inadequate attachment in childhood and fosters behaviors we refer to as "codependency." Therapy can be used for the purpose of "attachment repair" as a way of addressing the underlying cause of codependent behaviors.

Codependents often report exhaustion and identity fusion (also called fragmentation). I have extensive experience and training to address codependent compulsions and help you find a consistent and confident sense of self.

Sometimes we learn dysfunctional ways of being in relation with others. The problem comes as we grow up and get out into the world and attempt to have good sustainable relationships. We will explore family systems and dynamics, as well as setting healthy boundaries and looking at what a healthy relationship looks like.
