Dependent personality disorder therapy from our therapists in Littleton, CO helps clients establish their individuality and self-reliance, as those with dependent personality disorder harshly criticize themselves and underestimate their abilities.
Dependent personality disorder therapy often involves exploration into one’s past — specifically, events or relationships that may have led to the development of their dependent personality disorder. These experiences and their subsequent behaviors are discussed to help one develop healthier behaviors moving forward.
Dependent personality disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Dependent personality disorder with a provider at Thriveworks in Littleton, CO is a short-term therapy, as long-form treatment can lead to the development of a dependence on one’s therapist.
Dependent Personality Disorder introduces a number of serious personal and professional challenges that can severely handicap an individual’s life. When people have the disorder, they are often overly compliant with their caretaker or authority figures in their lives. They often underestimate their own skills and do not trust their own ability to provide for themselves. They usually have low self-esteem and look to others to meet their financial, emotional, material, and psychological needs. In short, Dependent Personality Disorder can keep people from living a fully independent and self-reliant life, but it has treatments.
The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Littleton have worked with many clients who have Dependent Personality Disorder. It is possible for those with the disorder to live a unique and fulfilling life. If you are struggling with the disorder or are showing symptoms, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for help.
