Understanding Codependency: It’s More Common Than You Think

Codependency isn’t just about enabling someone else’s bad behavior—it’s a pattern of losing yourself in relationships. You might prioritize others' needs so much that you don’t even know your own. You may feel responsible for others’ happiness—or fear abandonment if you stop fixing or caretaking.

These patterns often start in childhood. If you grew up in a chaotic, neglectful, or emotionally unpredictable home, codependency might have been how you survived. In adulthood, it can show up as chronic caretaking, low self-worth, and difficulty setting boundaries.

In therapy, we help you reconnect with your own identity. You’ll learn that your value doesn’t depend on being needed. We build skills in emotional regulation, assertiveness, and self-trust.

Healing from codependency is about learning to stay connected to others without abandoning yourself.
