Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Codependency is a behavioral and emotional condition that often manifests in dysfunctional, one-sided relationships where individuals excessively prioritize the needs and well-being of others at the expense of their own. This pattern of codependency may lead to difficulties in setting healthy boundaries, low self-esteem, and a reliance on external validation for a sense of self-worth. People struggling with codependency may find themselves entangled in relationships marked by excessive caretaking, enabling, or seeking validation from others. Breaking free from codependent patterns often involves self-awareness, establishing healthy boundaries, and fostering a more balanced sense of self that allows for independent growth and mutual respect within relationships. Therapeutic intervention, such as counseling or support groups, can be instrumental in helping individuals navigate and overcome codependency, fostering healthier and more fulfilling connections with others.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MACP, RP
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.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, M.Ed.
Codependency can feel confusing and confounding. We are trying to sort out "who am I and who is the other?" Setting and maintaining boundaries and developing self awareness can be just two responses. The reward of doing this work is a clearer sense of one's self in relation to others.
