About codependency
- when caring becomes a compulsion
Codependency is a compulsive disorder that can lead to an individual developing an unhealthy reliance on people or things for their emotional needs. Originally, the term ‘codependent’ as used to describe partners who were in a relationship with, a person suffering from addiction. Similar patterns can exist in relationships with individuals who are chronically ill. However, the term has now broadened to describe any codependent person. ‘Codependents’ always have good intentions. They may try to care for a person who is experiencing difficulties, but their care becomes self-defeating as it only enables destructive behaviour to continue.
Symptoms and effects of codependency
Codependency is a learned behaviour that can be passed from one generation to the next in dysfunctional families. Suffering from fear, anger, pain or shame, which is ignored or denied is an outcome of the disorder. Underlying issues may also include physical, emotional or sexual abuse. However, with the help and support of qualified professionals and clinical experts, it is possible to overcome codependency.
The most common symptoms of codependency
- having difficulty making decisions
- having difficulty identifying own feelings
- having difficulty communicating with others
- lacking trust in yourself and poor self-esteem
- over-controlling other people
- subordinating personal needs to the needs of others
- feel a fear of being abandoned
- chronic feelings of boredom and emptiness
Codependency treatment
At The Kusnacht Practice, we serve to understand the sources of problems and look at how you maintain relationships with people in your environment. We designate the path of building relationships that lead to individualization and not to subordination. In our premium clinic, the effectiveness of interpersonal therapy is often strengthened by cognitive methods that allow us to confront a dysfunctional dichotomous way of thinking about a dependent personality. Our tailor-made therapeutic plan is designed to strengthen weakened personality structures and remodel relationships. Comfortable conditions and exceptional care allow you to regain a sense of autonomy and happiness.
