Starting Codependency therapy

What is codependency therapy?

Codependency therapy with our Thriveworks Fredericksburg 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.

Codependency and Dependent Personality Disorder Therapy in Fredericksburg, VA

The majority of individuals who suffer from a psychological condition are not even aware that there is a problem in their lives. Many people who have lived with such a condition for their entire lives will simply become accustomed to that condition and the behavior associated with it will just manifest in second nature. People will not think twice about the way they are living. But certain psychological conditions can cause very unhealthy behavior and this is certainly the case with codependency and Dependent Personality Disorder.

How Do I Know if I am Suffering from One of these Conditions?

It’s important to answer this question with sense and care. Most people have dedicated dependencies to their partner or to someone they truly value in life which does not necessarily mean that they should seek immediate codependency counseling. Being deeply connected with your partner or deeply caring for your parents is perfectly natural. The situation becomes a psychological disorder when you identify with the following traits:

  • Do you feel as though your existence is linked to another person to a considerable extent?
  • Are your emotions dependent upon how other people are feeling?
  • Are you unable to make it through a single day without constant reassurance from your other person?
  • When things go wrong in your life do you blame the other person in your life for those things?
  • Are you submissive to another individual to an exceptional degree?

Remember that just because you feel that you relate to one of the items listed above to a certain degree, does not necessarily mean that you should immediately seek out therapy for codependency.

What Can Be Done About this?

Therapists are available for codependency. They will help you to identify the key issues in your life which might contribute to your unhealthy way of life.

Together with a professional you can find different ways to overcome your issues and move forward such that you’re able to lead a life with a better understanding of what a normal level of dependency is on other people and implement this.

If you feel that you relate to any of the issues discussed here, get in touch with us for a friendly and stress-free first meeting. 540-322-5424

Ann is a great listener, but she is also helpful with strategies for coping and communicating. She does more than "validate feelings."

I had the best luck with finding Krista! She helped me through so much. The doctors were quick to put me on several medications which made me feel worse with my anxiety and depression. So she helped me find different natural ways of coping. She had the best advice, it was honestly kind of a sad day when I realized I didn’t need her anymore. But I know who I’m going back to if I ever need someone to talk to again! Krista if you see this please know you helped save my life! Thank you!

I just want to say that since beginning counseling at Thriveworks that it has been the best choice I could have made for myself. I know everyone goes into counseling with their own ideas of what to expect from their counselors. But Thriveworks Fredericksburg has the most comfortable atmosphere, my counselor is Amazing, and the staff is professional every time I call to schedule my recurring appts! If you need help Thriveworks Fredericksburg is the place to call! All I can say is kudos to Aimee K! Thank you!!

Happy with everything except the 48 hr cancellation policy. 24hrs is pretty standard and more feasible when you have children.

I’m very relieved to have finally started therapy sessions with Robert. It’s taken me a while to make this move towards dealing with some outstanding hurts. I’m certain I’ve come to the right place.
