Codependency therapists in Clute, Texas TX
Elaine Klionsky
Psychologist, J.D., Ph.D., Inc.
While the term codependency is often used exclusively in relationships where one partner is an addict, I believe it is important to look at the role of codependency in all relationships. Whenever we are excessively tied to someone needing emotional or psychological support and when there does not exist a process to hand over autonomy or responsibility to the person who's been impaired, we have to examine our codependency issues. While our conscious intent may be to be helpful and nothing more, codependent behaviors may be fueled by underlying needs for security, validation, power, and self-esteem. Whatever the cause, freedom from codependency generally results in greatly increased energy, passion for life, and happiness.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LPC-S, LCSW-S
Codependency can be a tough thing to recognize when you're in a relationship. Contrary to popular belief, it's not just something that happens with a toxic romantic partner. We see this with family members all the time: parents with their adult children, sisters with sisters, brothers with brothers, etc. Codependent is NOT healthy. It's a bad habit that is super tough to break- but with coaching and support you can learn tools to gain healthy distance and learn to think about and value your own thoughts, feelings and actions.
