Attachment disorders, including codependency, are very common in enmeshed family systems and also in individuals coping with trauma, its effects, as well as with individuals who might be lacking balance or boundary awareness in their lives. Attachment and bonding difficulties were one of my areas of practice, professionally. This stated, shifting to a state of "oneness and constant contact with God" can help individuals find the peace they are seeking.The art and science of attaching and detaching are taught to clients using advanced psycho-educational approaches and models/ modalities. By teaching the concept of "oneness", these states can also be healed more easily so less anxiety regarding separation occurs and more healthy, positive, stable relationships with self and others can be achieved and maintained, over time.

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.
