RESOURCES WITH DR NICHOLAS JENNER
Free From Codependency
Stay connected without losing yourself.
Understanding a pattern is a beginning. Changing how you respond takes practice.
Free From Codependency brings together articles, practical reflections and support from The Online Therapist. Explore people-pleasing, emotional over-responsibility, boundaries and personal autonomy, then choose a next step that fits your circumstances.

Put awareness into practice
Knowing you need a boundary is one thing. Finding the words and trying it can be another.
In the Boundary Room, explore a specific situation and prepare what you want to say. Choose one manageable action, try it in everyday life, then return to Evidence to review what happened.
For example: “I can help tomorrow, but I’m not available this evening.” Start with one conversation, not the whole relationship.
A separate coaching and reflection tool—not therapy or emergency support. See the app page for access options and current pricing.

Explore what you can offer, what you cannot take on, and how to communicate that without abandoning yourself.

A small reflection to try
Think of one recent moment when you said yes before checking what you wanted. What did you fear would happen if you paused? What might a considered answer have sounded like?
The aim is not to criticise yourself. It is to notice the moment when you might make a different choice.

About Dr Nicholas Jenner
I’m a counselling psychotherapist working with codependency, relationships and emotional patterns. My aim is to help people understand what drives a familiar response and develop more choice in how they live and relate.
These resources offer general information and reflection, not an individual assessment. If a relationship involves fear, intimidation or abuse, prioritise safety and seek appropriate specialist support.
