Codependency Counseling

Let go of the guilt. Reclaim your voice. Rebuild your sense of self.

What Is Codependency?

Codependency isn’t just about being “too nice” or “needing people.” It’s a deeply rooted pattern where your sense of worth becomes entangled with someone else’s emotions, behaviors, or approval. You may feel responsible for managing others, avoid conflict at all costs, or lose yourself in caregiving—even when it’s draining or one-sided. Over time, codependency can erode your identity, breed resentment, and leave you feeling empty, anxious, or unlovable when you’re not needed.

These patterns often form early in life—especially in families where love felt conditional, boundaries were blurred, or emotional caretaking was expected. But they can be unlearned.

Signs of Codependency:

• Prioritizing others’ needs while ignoring your own

• Difficulty setting or maintaining boundaries

• Fear of abandonment or being “too much”

• Constant people-pleasing, guilt, or conflict avoidance

• Low self-worth or identity that depends on a partner’s approval

• Feeling anxious, resentful, or exhausted in relationships

• Getting stuck in toxic dynamics and having a hard time leaving

• A strong need to be needed—or to “fix” others

How I Can Help:

At Heal the Way Counseling + Wellness, I offer a compassionate space to explore these patterns without shame. We’ll gently unravel the beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck and build the tools you need to reconnect with you—your voice, your needs, your boundaries, and your right to take up space.

Together, we’ll work on:

• Learning how to set boundaries without guilt

• Reclaiming your sense of self outside of others’ expectations

• Building emotional resilience and inner validation

• Untangling from people-pleasing and perfectionism

• Developing healthier, more balanced relationships

Healing from codependency isn’t about becoming cold or distant—it’s about learning how to love others without losing yourself in the process.
