    Codependency

    Find Your Counselor

    About

    What’s the difference between being a nice, thoughtful person and a codependent person? Motivation, primarily. Motivation is the cut-off point—particularly in the context of social, romantic, and family relationships. Simply put, codependency is broadly recognized as excessive caretaking, and is marked by constant anxiety and worry about other people’s states of being, contagious moods (feeling as if “your problems are my problems”), and a relentless drive to take responsibility for things over which you have no control.

    Codependency is a tough pattern to break, perhaps because these patterns take root in an individual during life’s earliest stages. Though recovery can be a long road, individuals with codependency can and do recover over time. You can’t undo a lifetime of codependent thoughts and behaviors overnight, but with dedication and grit, you can redirect codependent thoughts towards investing in healthy, sustainable relationships.

    Signs and Symptoms

    • low self-esteem
    • patterns of destructive relationships
    • suppressing emotion
    • extreme abandonment avoidance
    • risk-taking behaviors

    How does Lifeologie help?

    Discuss your concerns with our intake specialists.

    When you reach out to a Lifeologie, you’ll be connected with one of our Intake Specialists. In a “call center?” No way. Our specialists are each located in their local Lifeologie office and know the counselors well. Their entire job is to learn about you and what you’re looking for and to match you with the counselor who will be the very best fit for your needs and preferences.

    Find a counselor that is passionate about helping you reach your mental health goals.

    Our counselors are literally the cream of the crop. We get hundreds of applications every year to intern and work at our offices. Lifeologists are counselors, life coaches and overall wellness advocates who are experts and specialists in their craft. At the intern level, they have set themselves apart as incredible learners and collaborators, chasing after the highest-level trainings in the field. From EMDR to nutrition coaching to brain spotting and addiction specialists, we have you covered. Once you enter a Lifeologie office, you’ll find that we’ve carefully curated the environment to feel modern, comfortable and inviting. Counseling at Lifeologie is not your typical counseling experience – in any way.

    Receive continuous support and guidance as you go on your mental health journey.

    Your counselor at Lifeologie will meet you wherever you are, whether you’re just starting in counseling for the first time ever… or returning to a life-long counseling journey after a brief break. Your Lifeologist will partner with you to meet your goals. As you learn and grow, we can help you focus on overall wellness through mindfulness practices such as Psychotherapeutic Yoga or mindful eating. Wherever you are, we can come alongside and help you move forward!
