What Is Codependency?

Codependency is a pattern where your focus becomes centered on others—often at the expense of your own needs, identity, and well-being.

You might find yourself:

  • Constantly worrying about someone else

  • Feeling responsible for their choices or emotions

  • Ignoring your own needs

  • Struggling to set boundaries

  • Losing your sense of self in relationships

Many people recognize something feels “off,” but can’t quite name it. Therapy helps bring clarity.

Common Signs of Codependency

  • Over-functioning for others

  • Difficulty saying no

  • People-pleasing behaviors

  • Low self-esteem

  • Feeling guilty when prioritizing yourself

  • Emotional highs and lows based on others’ behavior

At its core, codependency often stems from a deep desire for connection—but becomes unhealthy when it leads to self-neglect.Check out Dr. Rozycki’s blog on codependency to learn more.

Codependency & Addiction: How They’re Connected

Codependency frequently develops in relationships where addiction is present.

You may be:

  • Trying to “fix” or rescue someone

  • Managing crises created by substance use

  • Covering up or compensating for their behavior

  • Hoping things will improve if you try harder

Over time, this dynamic becomes exhausting and unsustainable.

Struggling with an addiction?

Online therapy may be appropriate if you are needing support in cutting down problematic substance use or abuse. Sometimes with work stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma, people turn to substances to numb the difficult feelings. This is a coping mechanism, but not a good one. Some escape problems with addictive behaviors like gambling, shopping, or over working.

All these avoidance behaviors block you from getting to the root cause of your problem, whatever that may be. Depending on the severity of your problem, online counseling may be sufficient in helping you to get back on track by modifying your behavior and processing the real issues. For more severe addictions, online counseling may not be appropriate as having a provider in your local area would be more preferable for your health.
