Good therapy is about feeling safe, secure, and at peace in our bodies; the journey to Self-Awareness. It's knowing you are not your symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance abuse etc...but understanding that this is how people learn to protect and how they cope. I am passionate about helping you go inside safely to begin to develop a relationship with yourself. You will learn that you really do have everything it takes inside to heal in a way that is lasting. I would be honored to listen, educate and teach about why you do the things you do without judgement, in a way that can then transform your life forever.

I focus on autism/ADHD (with or without trauma/PTSD). ADHD/Autism does not need to be previously diagnosed. My method is to analyze connections which typically stem back to one’s family of origin, which can lead to poor self-regard. Together, we work to identify patterns and tendencies, as well as where they came from. I’ve seen people change for the better. We are looking for results, realizations, epiphanies, and for you to break free from the cycle of unhappiness and self-loathing. www.PaulCulbertson.com

You feel tired and your shoulders and neck ache all the time. Everything feels heavy and full of gloom. Your thoughts echo with doom and what ifs. You avoid phone calls and text messages from your friends, and at the same time you wish you could share with them everything going on in your head. You wonder who you are and where your life is going.

You feel out of control more often than you'd like to admit. On the outside you might seem fine, but internally you’re frozen, panicked, or overwhelmed. Resorting to people pleasing, perfectionism, or just avoiding it all makes things feel okay again, but it doesn’t last, and you can’t help but brace yourself for the next shoe to drop. You wonder, what is wrong with me? Am I always going to be like this?

Codependency Therapists
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.
