Codependency
Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Codependency is a complex behavioural condition that can deeply impact relationships. It often involves relying heavily on another person for emotional support, self-worth, and even a sense of identity. This can create an environment where one's own needs and well-being take a backseat to the feelings and needs of the other person, which can be exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling.
If you find yourself struggling with codependency, know that you are not alone. Many people face challenges in setting boundaries, expressing their own needs, or maintaining a sense of individuality. You might feel a strong urge to please others, grapple with low self-esteem, or experience anxiety when you’re apart from someone you care about.
It's important to recognize and address these feelings, as doing so can pave the way for healthier, more balanced relationships. Seeking support through therapy, engaging in self-reflection, and developing self-care practices can be transformative steps on your journey toward emotional independence and personal growth. Remember, breaking the cycle of codependency is not only possible, but it can also lead to more fulfilling connections with others. Your well-being matters, and taking these steps can help you build a more empowering and satisfying life.

Codependency often develops gradually and can become deeply ingrained in the way we relate to others. You may find yourself constantly prioritizing the needs, emotions, or wellbeing of others while neglecting your own. Over time, your sense of identity can become closely tied to being needed, fixing problems, or keeping the peace in relationships.
Many people living with codependent patterns feel responsible for others’ happiness, struggle with boundaries, or feel guilt and anxiety when trying to prioritize themselves. These patterns are often shaped by earlier experiences, family dynamics, or relationships where love and care became intertwined with responsibility.
In our work together, we focus on building healthier boundaries, strengthening your sense of self, and learning how to care for others without losing yourself in the process. The goal is to help you develop relationships that feel balanced, respectful, and supportive of your own wellbeing as well.
