Codependency therapy FAQs

What is codependency therapy?

Codependency therapy with our Thriveworks Portage 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.

Need more help deciding?

A healthy interdependency, however, can easily turn into unhealthy codependency. The codependent therapists at Thriveworks Portage have coached many people on how to overcome their codependency and stop helping in ways that harm their loved one or themselves.

To get started with a therapist at Thriveworks Portage, simply call us at (269) 264-4920 or book online to get started today.

Codependent People

Codependent people often struggle with deep shame, passivity, and insecurity. Instead of working through these feelings, they tell themselves that they can prove they are loved, competent, and active through fixing other people.

They may put their own mental, physical, or financial health in peril in order to meet another person’s needs. However, this strategy does not work, and often leads to more feelings of shame, passivity, and insecurity for the codependent.

Healing from Codependent Behaviors

If you can recognize some codependent behaviors in your own life, know that healing and personal growth are possible. Acknowledging your feelings, thoughts, and actions may be the first step toward establish healthier ways of relating. If you have struggled with codependency, doing this may be hard, but therapy may facilitate the process.

Our therapists have helped many people learn how to:

  1. Be present during challenges (healthy) without having to fix the other person (unhealthy).
  2. Acknowledge and resolve any negative beliefs that cultivated the codependent behavior.
  3. Work through past traumas and change unhealthy coping mechanisms.
  4. Say, “no” when they mean, “no.” Say, “yes,” when they mean, “yes.”
  5. Prioritize their emotional, financial, and physical health.
  6. Form relationships with mutual respect and as equals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and resentful? Are you ready to work on your own health and well-being? Thriveworks Portage is here to help, and our therapists have appointments for codependency available.

Thriveworks Portage often has weekend and evening sessions available, and we work with most major insurance providers.

Are you ready for healthier, happier relationships? Call Thriveworks Portage today at (269) 264-4920 or book online to get started. We are ready to help.

Rhoda is honest and does not pull her punches. She doesn't interrupt but will hold her thought and let me finish. She encourages when she see a healthy line of thinking and points out if she sees me going down unhealth thought processes!
