Codependency therapy with our Thriveworks Austin therapists helps people reduce and overcome codependent habits, which involve sacrificing one’s own needs to meet the needs of others (usually those closest to them). It helps to improve one’s well-being as well as the health of their relationships.
Codependency therapy works by helping the individual recognize, understand, and accept codependent patterns — including why and how they might’ve developed. In addition, it focuses on helping the individual to kick these tendencies and build more balanced relationships that allow them to support others without neglecting their own needs.
Codependency therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Codependent counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on the exact needs of the client as well as the severity of their codependent challenges and other needs or preferences.
At Thriveworks Austin, we have helped many patients through codependency and dependency counseling. Because codependency often manifests through caring for others, it can be difficult to see it as a problem. After all, aren’t we supposed to care for those we love?
Caring for loved ones is appropriate, but when approval from those loved ones is the only way you know to receive love, the assistance you give can overwhelm your need to care for yourself.
Codependency is a personality disorder that can be helped with counseling. While some level of dependency between loved ones is normal, when it becomes unbalanced it can lead to larger problems.
If you are suffering from codependency, you might recognize some of the below signs:
If any of the above questions resonate with you, codependency counseling might very well be the solution you need. Thriveworks Austin counselors understand how conflicted you may feel. While you want to be healthy, you also struggle with the idea of your loved ones getting along without the amount of assistance you’ve been providing.
If you don’t help them, you may worry they will withdraw their love. Thriveworks Austin counseling is here to help. We’ve worked with clients in many situations, including those struggling with codependency. All it takes is one phone call to get on the road to recovery. We’re waiting to help you immediately.
As we have already established, a great many relationships in the world today feature some degree of dependency. However, when this dependency becomes codependency, it turns into a psychological disorder which can make things significantly darker for the sufferer.
People who need codependency counseling will very likely find that they are in a relationship where they simply cannot function without receiving validation from the other person. They will likely show signs of low self-esteem, and their entire existence may seem centered upon this other person. That other person could be a parent who themselves has a problems with addiction or dependency, a friend who allows others to fulfill most of their emotional and physical needs, or a spouse who allows the codependent partner to care for them to the point of a problem.
In counseling for codependency, Thriveworks Austin therapists work with patients to determine what underlying beliefs are manifesting in the person’s relationship behaviors. Often, experiences with parents or close caregivers in childhood are influencing the person’s behavior today. Once those experiences are addressed and processed, the person may begin to detach from unhealthy relationships by learning to set appropriate boundaries—something else your codependency counselor will be able to assist with.
Thriveworks Austin counselors have helped many patients with codependency and we can help you too. We are trained professionals experienced in treating patients with this and many other disorders. If you are not living your optimum life, if you feel your value depends on another’s validation, contact us. You are valuable, and we want to help you see it.
