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.

Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHCA
Codependency is the need to be needed. When we are always needed, we can experience exhaustion and resentment. This can be a tricky cycle to find yourself in. My approach when addressing codependency is to help clients uncover who they are, what they like, and what they are good at without listening to any opinion but their own. We will also look at boundaries and how to create healthy ones for the sake of looking out of ourselves. There will be a lot of psycho-education on codependency in an effort to strengthen the client's self-awareness and change undesired behaviors.
