Is it Really Codependency or Trauma Bonding?
You’re the strong one: the fixer, the reliable partner, the woman who makes everything look easy. But when it comes to love, you keep finding yourself in toxic, one-sided relationships that leave you depleted, anxious, and doubting your worth.
Maybe someone called it codependency, but that label doesn’t feel right. You’re not weak: you’re a high-achieving, capable woman who’s been conditioned to overgive, accommodate, and hold chaos together. What’s really happening is trauma bonding and attachment wounding, patterns that began long before this relationship and keep you hooked on people who can’t or won’t show up for you.
Questions You May Ask
“Is this codependency or trauma bonding?”
“Why do I feel addicted to someone who’s hurting me?”
“How can I be so successful in life but so lost in love?”
“How do I stop choosing emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners?”
“Why can’t I stop trying to fix people who won’t change?”
How I Help You Break the Pattern
With 20+ years as a licensed psychologist and advanced training in narcissistic abuse recovery, trauma bonding, and emotional burnout, I guide women to:
Rebuild self-worth that isn’t tied to rescuing or being needed
Identify and heal trauma bonds and love addiction
Set boundaries without guilt or fear of abandonment
Understand attachment wounds and their impact on adult relationships
Stop over-functioning and rescuing, even with co-parents or ex-partners
Recover from gaslighting and manipulation so you can trust your intuition
Reclaim your identity, voice, and personal power
You don’t have to keep choosing people who don’t choose you. Let’s untangle the patterns, heal the wounds that keep you stuck, and build a life where your love is valued.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency is a circular pattern that emerge in relationships when one person needs another person to need them in order to keep the relationship going. This is an unhealthy pattern and often leads to unhappiness and toxic patterns in relationships. I approach these relationships from a place of empathy and concern for all parties involved. It is my goal to illuminate these patterns and teach individuals to set healthy boundaries that will allow them to break free of codependent relationships and live healthier and happier lives with friends and family.
