Gina Niewodowski
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, ATR-BC (Master of Arts, Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist)
Codependency develops over years and interferes with both self esteem and relationships with others. In therapy, we explore core beliefs which contribute to codependency and strategies to challenge these perceptions.

Treatment for codependency includes psycho education, examining and addressing the circumstances from which the codependency arose, understanding one’s attachment style, and developing more functional attitudes, boundaries, and relational interactions.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Codependency is another specialty of mine in being a people pleaser. If you are looking to find someone to complete you, you probably have codependent qualities. Codependent people find their self esteem through helping others often at ones own expense. Codependency is all about looking outside ourselves for answers/happiness instead of inward. Happiness and all of our answers to our questions lie within if we can become still enough to listen to our intuition. Successful relationships are more interdependent where we both have our lives, interests, friends, family, etc. and intersect with our partners when we are doing something together. Many of my clients have gone to Codependents Anonymous, ACOA, Alanon, etc. These are safe spaces to explore more interdependent and independent ways of being and share our experiences without being judged. There are many great books on codependency. I teach people how to become your own person not needing approval from others and celebrating your interdependence with one another when in relationship.
