Codependency in Addiction and Codependency counselling

Codependency occurs when one individual becomes dependent on another psychologically, in that the other's behavior affects the state of mind of the codependent. In the context of addiction, usually a close friend or relative of an addict becomesa codependent. In trying to help the addict, they increase the stress, guilt and shame of the addict, pushing them further into addiction and thus enabling their behavior.

Enabling does not mean they support the addiction of the person, but that they take certain actions which they believe are a better outcome for everyone involved but which turn out to be aiding the persons addiction indirectly. Enabling behaviors include covering up for the addict, financial assistance, tolerating or ignoring problematic behaviors such as stealing, etc. In Codependency counselling, we aim to work on the codependent's needs and expectations from the addict.

We focus on helping them derive their sense of self from within themselves and not from the addict's recovery or relapse. Codependency counselling aims to rebuild bridges between the addict and codependent so that the codependent can rediscover their individuality, balance their mental health and in turn provide a support system for the addict in recovery.
