Codependency

Codependency

"Codependency" on a psychology issue list refers to a relationship pattern where one person becomes excessively focused on another person's needs and emotions, often neglecting their own well-being. In codependent relationships, one individual may become deeply involved in the other's issues and feel accountable for their happiness, while the other person may grow reliant on this support and care.

Codependency can arise in various relationships, such as romantic partnerships, family connections, or friendships. It can be driven by several underlying factors, including low self-esteem, a desire for control, or a fear of being abandoned.

Codependency can negatively impact an individual's mental health, leading to feelings of guilt, shame, and self-doubt. It may also cause a loss of personal identity and difficulties in setting boundaries, which can worsen the issue.

Addressing codependency often involves therapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy or relationship counseling. These therapeutic approaches can help individuals adopt healthier ways of relating to others and enhance their self-esteem and sense of personal identity. Additionally, therapy can assist individuals in tackling the emotional and psychological factors that contribute to codependency, ultimately fostering more balanced and satisfying relationships.

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.
