We cannot go on reliving the trauma of our childhood in our adult world. Nobody needs rescuing generally and it is wrong to feel you need rescuing by others. It is all about awareness and responsibility...seeking awareness and taking responsibility. I see the next hike coming!
I have been successfully treating codependents for many years on an individual basis, changing people’s lives using effective integrative methods that I am continually developing. I realise the importance of learning tools and methods in order to enjoy a fuller life and better relationships...
I have always said that codependency recovery is about management and not cure. Being a behavioural issue means that setbacks can easily happen. There is no linear line available from A to Z. One has to constantly manage symptoms on a daily basis and take one day at a time and always challenge yourself to do the right thing. Doing the right thing means taking responsibility and leadership.
In my everyday work with codependents, who do not need to be tested, I see a variety of different "types" of codependency, to the point that we may assert that not all codependency is the same.

At this time of year, I like to reflect on what people have been reading on the site. Codependency and codependent relationships were once again prominent topics.

Anger transcends feelings. Indeed, your body goes into overdrive when it detects a danger. It begins by releasing adrenaline, the “fight or flight” hormone. Your heart rate accelerates and your blood pressure rises in response...
My recent visit to the Normandy Beaches, the site of the D-Day landings, served as an inspiration for this piece. On a previous trip, I had seen Omaha Beach and the American Military Cemetery, which is perhaps the most well-known and well-visited of all the landing locations...
A revelation for me in 2021 has been the insights acquired through the numerous group therapy sessions that I have facilitated this year, which are detailed here. I made the decision to include group therapy as one of the services I provide at the beginning of this year...
Many people in therapy talk about transformation and make the assertion that it’s easier said than done, and I agree with that sentiment. It is far easier to talk about altering your mindset or your circumstances than it is to really go through with such changes...
We all know that our perceptions of maturity and the people in our lives are heavily influenced by our upbringing. This is where we obtain our information and the pattern for how we will spend our lives. The result of this is instinctive, automatic and comes from a very deep place.
