Do you feel like an imposter? Does it feel like everyone else got a rulebook that you didn't? Are you trying to overcome the effects of trauma, whether from a major life event, or from many smaller things throughout your life that have eaten away at your self-esteem? I'm guessing that you have many negative beliefs about yourself that you know, logically, aren't true. It's really hard to turn that logic into true belief about your worth as a human being, though.

How does this keep happening? It’s like you’re repeating the same relationship over and over, and the only thing that changes is your partner. They all start out great – you’re excited and hopeful and try to do everything in your power to make your partner happy. But it’s never enough. For some reason, as soon as you express your own needs, things start to fall apart. It’s been this way for as long as you can remember. You see other people falling in love, starting families, and building lives together. Meanwhile, it feels like you’re always starting from scratch. You know there must be a better way, but it seems so hopeless.

You and your partner keep having the same argument, stuck in a cycle that leaves you feeling disconnected and misunderstood. Maybe one of you pushes for connection while the other shuts down, or maybe every conversation turns into tension, resentment, or silence. You’ve tried talking it out, reading the relationship books, even weekly therapy—but nothing seems to stick. That’s because real change doesn’t come from surface-level fixes. It comes from deep understanding of your patterns, regulating emotions, and learning a new way to connect.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
