Codependency therapists in Bonham, Texas TX
Dri Edwards
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC
When we grow up in dysfunctional families, often we are "given" a role or roles in the family; we learn behaviors that help us survive the dysfunction in "functional" ways. We identify these as who we are and continue functioning in the same way as adults. The problem with this occurs when the learned behaviors and roles are not helpful in current adult relationships.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Codependency is an often misunderstood term. It refers to a pattern of behavior that many people have but don’t realize it or recognize it as a problem. Do you have a hard time saying “no”? Do you have a tendency to people please? Maybe you're often feeling resentful because the people in your life seem not to appreciate what you do or don’t give back all that you put in. Maybe you feel stretched too thin because you take on everyone’s problems and put your own needs last. If this sounds like you, codependency may be your issue. We can work together to identify and understand how this pattern started and how we can change it. Then you will be able to move forward in your life, taking better care of your needs but also enjoying more reciprocal, loving relationships.

If you have trouble differentiating yourself from others, if your needs are way down on the list of priorities...maybe we should talk.

Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC-S, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.
