Life coaching is great for people with codependency lifestyles. I, myself used to be codependent in my relationships so I can relate and because of my own personal success overcoming codependency, I can really motivate and help my clients.

An excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner. Among the core characteristics of codependency is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity.
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.
Do you have relationships where you feel compelled to "save" them by attending to all of their needs and in turn you neglect all of your own needs? Or do you experience in relationships feeling like you need the other person to take care of you but you also feel smothered or resentment? Codependency in relationships comes from attachment wounds, which can be understood and healed so that you can end unhealthy relationships or work to change behavioural patterns in relationships in your present life. I can help you learn to make these changes and better understand your relational patterns.

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.
I specialize in helping individuals break free from codependency by fostering healthy, balanced relationships. Through our work together, I will guide you to develop self-awareness, establish healthy boundaries, and nurture a strong sense of self-worth.
