All relationships go through rocky periods where we start to question ourselves, but codependent relationships have certain enduring characteristics that make them particularly difficult. In a codependent relationship you can have trouble saying no, setting boundaries, and taking care of your needs. Maybe you feel tired all the time but have a hard time slowing down. You might feel you need to do everyone's work, or it won't get done. Codependency can leave you feeling angry, frustrated, and resentful.
If you are on the flip side of a codependent relationship, you might feel confused about your partner’s reactions. Maybe you feel that someone is always nagging you? In codependent relationships, neither person is happy. One feels they are doing too much and the other does not understand what all the fuss is about. This can be a vicious cycle where neither partner feels understood or appreciated.
Counselling about codependency can help you understand these patterns and get to the heart of the matter. Contact us for a consultation to learn more.

Co-dependency occurs when individuals find their identity solely by way of their interactions with others. These interactions might include romantic relationships, friend relationships, or relationship within their family network. While deeply held relationships are important for our emotional health, certain personality types are more prone to seeing these relationships become co-dependent ones which rob people of their individual identity as opposed to help foster it.

entangled relationships start when we are born and are learned behaviours. Learning to create healthy boundaries and recognize each person is still seperate within the relationship can help create healthy relationships.

Codependency can be described as a relationship pattern where one person is overly reliant on another person for their emotional needs, and the other person is overly focused on meeting the needs of the first person to the detriment of their own needs. This often results in an imbalanced power dynamic where the codependent person feels a sense of responsibility for the well-being of the other person, and may even enable or perpetuate their unhealthy behaviors.
Individuals who struggle with codependency, can it manifest in a variety of ways, such as difficulty setting boundaries, feeling guilty for asserting their own needs, and struggling with low self-esteem. It's important for individuals struggling with codependency to recognize that their own needs and desires are just as valid as those of the people they care about and to learn healthy ways of expressing their needs and setting boundaries. Therapy can be a helpful tool in breaking the cycle of codependency and learning to cultivate more balanced, fulfilling relationships.
