Co-Dependency Treatment

Are you feeling stuck in unhealthy relationships?

Are you tired of jumping from bad relationship to bad relationship?  Maybe you’ve tried working things out, making sacrifices, or wishing and hoping that things will change, but they never do. Do you find yourself focusing on others’ needs and putting yours on the back burner?

Like most people, you probably weren’t taught how to have healthy relationships or even what a healthy relationship looks like.  You may have even watched your parents or other people that you love involved in toxic relationships which have lead you to repeat similar unhealthy relationship patterns.

Unhealthy behaviors such as giving too much, ignoring your own needs, not setting limits and people pleasing can make it difficult if not impossible for you to get your needs met and experience anything close to fulfillment in your relationships.

Giving more than you receive and being dishonest about how you’re really feeling in order to avoid losing your relationship can make you feel invisible, and unimportant.  After a while you may even begin to feel that you deserve to be mistreated, keeping you stuck in an unhealthy relationship for years. 

Unhealthy Relationships Can Make You Feel

 

Like you’re always giving but never getting anything in return

Overwhelmed by taking care of everyone else’s needs

Like you always there for others, yet no one is ever there for you 

Unable to say no because you are afraid to upset or disappoint anyone 

Like you always need  to come to an addicted loved one’s rescue 

Exhausted by taking care of the problems of your family, friends and partner and never having time for your own needs.

Like you don’t matter and that no one appreciates all that you do

Alone, angry, and resentful

If you want to learn how to create and maintain healthy relationships, I can help. 

You will discover that the best way to help others is by first taking care of yourself.  By receiving support in a safe atmosphere you will realize that you don’t have to go through this alone. You can learn how to take care of your own needs and stop sacrificing your happiness for others, learn what a healthy relationship looks like, and learn how to set and maintain healthy boundaries.
