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.

Tracey Nguyen
Counsellor/Therapist, RN, MN
For individuals who struggle with codependency, our existence is based on getting other peoples approval and and caring a lot about what other people think to the point you may abandon your needs constantly to please others in relationships. This may feel natural, like you are giving, helping and saving but this doesn't come without expectation. Codependent behaviour when not met with what we want back, may breed a lot of resentment, anger and disappointment. Feeling drained, leaking our power and stressing because of what others think can be a consequence. We work together to heal the part of you that keeps leaving yourself, we learn to deeply meet our own emotional needs so we can have the courage to build some healthy boundaries in our relationships. We learn to say no when we are afraid to and trusting that it's okay to not meet other people's needs based on their emotional reactions. We learn to not get controlled by others upset emotions and anger. We learn to honour what we need for ourselves.
