You've Been the Giver, the Fixer, the One Who Holds It All Together

But deep down, you're tired. You're overwhelmed. And you're starting to wonder—what about me?

Codependency can look like:

  • Feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions
  • Saying yes when you want to say no
  • Shrinking yourself so others can shine
  • Doubting your feelings or constantly second-guessing yourself
  • Finding your worth in being needed
  • Feeling anxious when you try to set boundaries
  • Losing your sense of identity in relationships

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you're not broken. You've been in survival mode. Codependency therapy can help you shift into something healthier, more grounded, and more you.

What Are the Signs of Codependency?

Recognizing the signs of codependency is a powerful first step toward healing—and toward creating relationships that feel balanced, safe, and mutual.

  • 1. People-Pleasing

    You say yes when you want to say no. You feel responsible for everyone's happiness. You equate being liked with being worthy.

  • 2. Lack of Boundaries

    You take on others' emotions and problems like they're your own. Saying no feels rude—even when you're overwhelmed.

  • 3. Fear of Rejection or Abandonment

    You avoid conflict at all costs. You worry that if you don't keep everyone happy, they'll leave.

  • 4. Over-Focus on Others

    You lose yourself in relationships—forgetting what you need, think, or feel because you're so tuned into everyone else.

  • 5. Difficulty Expressing Needs

    You feel guilty speaking up for yourself, like having needs makes you selfish or "too much."

  • 6. Struggles with Self-Worth

    No matter how much you give, it never feels like enough. You need others' approval to feel okay about yourself.

  • 7. Doubting Your Reality

    You second-guess your feelings. You trust others' opinions more than your own truth.
