Starting Codependency therapy in Pittsburgh

What is codependency therapy?

Codependency therapy with our Thriveworks Pittsburgh 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 Counseling in Pittsburgh, PA—Counselors and Therapists

Giving and receiving are healthy and normal parts of being a family or being friends. No one is self-sufficient, and needing help is normal. When there is give and take, relationships are usually in balance, but when giving becomes one-sided, the help may actually be causing harm, both in the person offering help and in the person receiving the help. It happens more than people want to admit, and it is called codependency.

When people shelter their loved ones from the natural consequences of their addiction or irresponsible decisions…. when people do for others what they can do for themselves… when people sacrifice their own well-being to help, they may be codependent. While often done with the best of intentions, codependent behavior can cause serious harm. Thriveworks Pittsburgh codependency counselors have helped many people conquer their codependent behaviors and learn how to help without hurting.

Codependency: How Does It Work?

Codependent people usually value other people’s needs and wants more than their own. In doing so, they often enable irresponsible behavior and put their own emotional, financial, or physical needs at risk. Codependent people rarely fall into these unhealthy relational dynamics by accident. Whether consciously or unconsciously, they often seek out people who struggle with addiction or reckless behavior.

Feelings of acute shame and insecurity often hound codependent people, and fixing their friends and family members becomes a path for them to feel accepted and competent… at least, that is what they think. But compensating for another person is not a path toward healing. Codependency usually leads, instead, toward frustration and resentment. As codependent people risk their own well-being to help their loved one, they often expect gratitude and love. However, their loved one usually responds by continuing with their irresponsibility.

What Does a Codependent Relationship Look Like?

Codependent people can display unhealthy behaviors in many different kinds of relationships: as spouses, children, parents, co-workers, friends, and more. Distinguishing healthy connection and support from codependent behaviors is difficult but important. Here are a few red flags that a relationship has crossed from supportive into codependent. When one person in the relationship…

  • Pays for the natural consequences of the other’s addictive or irresponsible behavior.
  • Worries that they will be rejected if they do not shield the other from the consequences of their poor choices.
  • Struggling with feelings of anger and resentment for helping the other.
  • Has experienced emotional or physical harm but will not end the relationship.
  • Has difficulty saying, “no” or setting limits.
  • Is defensive about the other’s behavior.
  • Values another’s thoughts, needs, and feelings more than their own.
  • Minimizes or denies their own or the other’s problems.
  • Has difficulty expressing their emotions and needs.

Recovering from Codependency

Acknowledging that you may have a problem with when, where, and how to help is a difficult process, but accepting reality and reaching out for help may be the first steps in personal recovery and toward healthier relationships. The skilled and caring therapists at Thriveworks Pittsburgh have walked with many people, guiding them toward healthy changes for their well-being.

Through therapy, recovering from codependency may mean learning how to…

  1. Be present for loved ones as you are able (healthy) without fixing or rescuing them (unhealthy).
  2. Replacing codependent behaviors with healthy forms of connection.
  3. Set limits and say, “no.”
  4. Meet your financial, emotional, and physical needs.
  5. Form relationships confident of your self-worth.

Scheduling Codependency Counseling at Thriveworks Pittsburgh
