Codependency Counselling

Codependency is a learned behaviour.

Codependency is a learned behaviour, and it can be unlearned. It is not a failure to be codependent; it’s just something you learned from your environment when you were growing up, as most people do. Codependency counselling will teach you how to overcome the negative behaviours associated with codependency and empower yourself so that you can live a healthier life without depending on others in unhealthy ways.

If you or someone close to you struggles with codependency, we encourage you to seek treatment right away. There are many different types of therapy available for treating this condition including individual therapy, group therapy and family counselling sessions where everyone involved works together on the same goal: healing from any past trauma while simultaneously learning new healthy techniques for coping with everyday stressors both at home and at work (or school).

Codependency can affect your life in many ways

Codependency is a mental health issue that can affect your life in many ways, including:

Mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety.
Physical health issues, such as chronic pain or illnesses.
Relationship problems with friends and family members. You may feel like you are always giving to other people but never getting anything back in return. This can lead to feelings of resentment and loneliness, which can cause emotional distress that can turn into depression if left untreated for too long (Dyck 2010).
Family conflict over how money should be spent in the household or who does what around the house (Perlman 2011).
Workplace problems because you constantly worry about your boss’ opinion of you instead of doing your job well enough on its own merits; this makes it hard for others around them to trust their judgement so they avoid taking risks when working under them which then causes more problems down the line due up until eventually costing thousands of dollars each year just trying keep everyone happy without even realising why they need help at all in first place!

Codependency can also lead to depression and anxiety

Codependency can also lead to depression and anxiety. You may feel that you are not good enough or that you don’t deserve love, comfort, and affection. You may feel shame and guilt if you are unable to sacrifice yourself for others regardless of the negative consequences this has on your life. As a result of these types of feelings, it’s possible for codependents to withdraw from others in an attempt to protect themselves from further hurt or rejection. These feelings can also lead codependents to believe that they aren’t in control of their lives—which only adds more stress onto what is already an already stressful situation!

Codependency is something that can be treated with therapy

Codependency counselling is an excellent way to understand your codependency and how it affects your life. If you’re ready to learn how to set healthy boundaries, identify emotions and triggers, or just need a safe space to talk out difficult situations with a professional, therapy can help you do that.

With regular counselling sessions and practice between sessions, codependency counselling can help you learn new ways of communicating with others while learning how to be self-reliant.

The first step in codependency counselling is to admit you have a problem.

The first step in codependency counselling is to admit that you have a problem. If you’re unable to do this, the counsellor will ask questions designed to help you see what your issues are.

It’s normal for people with codependency issues to be in denial about them. That’s why it’s important for the counsellor to point out what is happening and how it affects your life. Denial won’t fix anything, though; only by admitting your problems can they be overcome and dealt with effectively. It might seem like no one else can see how much trouble you’re in, but if they’ve been paying attention at all then chances are good that someone has noticed your codependent tendencies before now (even if they haven’t said anything).

When you meet with your counsellor, they will probably ask you certain questions.

When you meet with your counsellor, they will probably ask you certain questions:

What are your feelings and reactions to certain situations? For example, do you tend to get angry or frustrated when someone does not follow through on a promise or obligation (even if it is not within their control)? How do these emotions affect the way that you interact with others? How have they affected your relationships in the past?
What is your relationship like with family members/close friends/significant others? Does everyone feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings openly around each other? Or do tensions arise at times because one person doesn’t want anyone else to know what’s going on inside of them. This could lead them to lash out in anger or frustration. It could also mean that no one feels comfortable speaking up during group discussions because they don’t want everyone else knowing what they think about a particular topic due to fear of rejection from others’ negative reactions towards their opinion/beliefs being expressed aloud instead of kept private between just themselves and God (or whatever higher power).

You may have to try different counsellors until you find one that can help you.

In order to find the right therapist, you’ll likely have to try out a few. Your therapy experience is as unique as your relationship with your partner. You may be able to connect with one counsellor right away and not another, or you might need more time than other people do before you feel comfortable sharing important details about yourself. Most therapists will give you their number and ask that when you’ve found someone who makes an impact on your life and helps solve some of your problems, please call them back so they can refer their client on the path toward healing from codependency.

It can take several weeks or months to work through codependency counselling and get everything figured out.

A common misconception is that therapy can fix you in a week or two. Sometimes, it takes longer than that—but it’s worth it! If you are truly committed to working through your codependency issues, then you will be able to see change happen over time. It might take several weeks or even months to work through all of the issues related to codependency counselling, but if you stick with it and keep trying different things, eventually your counsellor will help you create healthier patterns in your life.

If your loved ones are also codependent, they might be able to benefit from codependency counselling as well.

Codependents often have trouble setting boundaries and taking care of themselves, which can lead them to become overly involved in the lives of others. They tend to get attracted to people who are suffering with addiction or mental health issues because they feel like it’s their job to help fix that person’s problem. This kind of behaviour is often unconscious; codependents may not even realise how much time they spend worrying about someone else or trying to make them happy—they might just think it’s natural for friends or family members to do these things for one another!
If you think you might be codependent yourself, seek help from a therapist who specialises in this area so you can learn how your behaviour patterns work and how best not only survive but thrive despite them
