Codependency therapy FAQs

What is codependency therapy?

Codependency therapy with our Thriveworks Philadelphia 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.

How does codependency therapy work?

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.

Is codependency therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does codependency therapy last?

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.

Therapy for Codependency in Philadelphia, PA—Counselors and Coaches

If you’re struggling with codependency, Thriveworks Philadelphia offers therapy to help you regain control and improve your well-being. Codependency can manifest in various ways, often involving over-helping or sacrificing your own needs for others.

Our experienced counselors can guide you toward healthier relationships and self-care practices. Call us today at (215) 642-8968.

Recognizing Codependency

Codependency often centers on focusing excessively on another person, usually someone with addiction or irresponsible behavior. This can occur in relationships between parents and children, spouses, or friends. Key characteristics of codependency include:

  • Difficulty setting boundaries: Internally wanting to say “no” but externally saying “yes,” even at personal cost.
  • Dependency: Fear of rejection and finding fulfillment in being needed.
  • Low self-esteem: Driven by feelings of guilt, shame, and inadequacy, seeking self-worth through helping others.
  • Poor communication skills: Struggling to express personal feelings, needs, and thoughts, fearing upsetting others.
  • Tendencies to be a people-pleaser: Anxiety when others are upset and taking responsibility for their happiness.
  • Caretaking: Anticipating and meeting others’ needs without being asked, feeling resentment if help is declined.
  • Minimization: Seeing oneself as only helpful and having difficulty acknowledging harm caused, blaming others for problems.

Treatment for Codependency

Recovery from codependency involves several steps:

  • Learning to focus on their own needs: Valuing personal needs and feelings, offering help from personal strength.
  • Acknowledging and taking responsibility: Recognizing their role in the problem and taking active steps to change.
  • Accepting themselves: Finding self-acceptance and feeling loved based on inherent worth.
  • Establishing new behavior patterns: Embracing new behaviors, practicing saying “no,” disappointing people, and expressing thoughts.

Christina is absolutely awesome. She has a way about her that makes me feel safe and even on my worse days somehow she puts a smile on my face. She is externally understanding, caring, inspirational and very knowledgeable in her field. I look forward to every session with her. If there was a star rating asked 5 would not be high enough. I have had 3 therphists prior to Christina this year and she by far has been the most helpful and most understanding, supportive and has helped me through some extremely hard days. I love her!!!
