Codependence

Codependence (co-dependence) is a pattern of detrimental behavioral interactions within a dysfunctional relationship which is regarded as an emotional disorder. In the relationship, the codependent person may be controlled or manipulated by another or, it may simply be the codependent person working hard to please or 'live through' another.

Someone who is co-dependent may have a tendency to place the needs and wants of others first; over and above their own. A co- dependent person may worry excessively about how others respond to their feelings. Undue fear of being hurt or rejected by others and self-esteem that is dependent on the approval of others and a tendency to ignore their own values while attempting to adhere to the values of others are other common symptoms of a codependent person. Contact us today to help uncover the source of your codependence so you can live a life of your own.
