Our Codependency Treatments
Codependency involves a pattern of behavior where one person excessively depends on others for emotional, psychological, and sometimes physical support. The effects of codependency can manifest in various ways, influencing not just personal well-being but also relationships and daily functioning.
At Cornerstone, we understand. We are here for you and will guide you through the healing process so you can form healthy relationships in the future.

Diagnosis
Codependency is a learned behavioral condition whereby people form unhealthy, dependent relationships that prevent them from developing a strong sense of self-identity.
Those struggling with codependency tend to have extremely low self-esteem and derive personal value almost exclusively from relationships with others. They continually compromise their own needs in attempts to satisfy the needs of partners, friends, or family members. Codependents feel a compulsive need to rescue or control those around them, often choosing emotionally unavailable, troubled, addicted, or abusive partners.
Additionally, setting and enforcing healthy boundaries, as well as direct communication can be very challenging.
People with Codependent tendencies may find themselves constantly seeking approval and reassurance, leading to an imbalance in their personal and professional relationships. This reliance can result in feelings of low self-worth, anxiety, and an inability to make decisions independently. The condition can be a barrier to living a fulfilling life, as it often leads to neglecting one’s own needs and desires.
Understanding and acknowledging the effects of codependency is the first step towards healing and finding balance.
Codependents typically assume the caretaking role to avoid conflict or disapproval. They are hypervigilant of the emotional states of others and take responsibility for their feelings, behaviors, and choices.
A core belief persists that affection or closeness is only available through putting other’s needs first. Unfortunately, this leads to one-sided, dysfunctional relationships that perpetuate painful abandonment fears and sensations of martyrdom over time.
Codependency often leads to an unhealthy emotional reliance on others, profoundly affecting personal happiness and autonomy. It can be one of the key factors in disrupting individual growth and self-realization.
Codependency frequently results in strained and imbalanced relationships, impacting both personal and professional interactions. It is a significant barrier to forming healthy, mutually respectful relationships.
Many factors in one’s upbringing can heighten the risk of developing Codependent tendencies. Growing up in a dysfunctional household with emotionally immature, mentally ill, addicted, or abusive parents fails to provide children with the appropriate love, care, support, and mirroring required to foster a healthy sense of self. In particular, having a narcissistic or borderline-disordered parent almost guarantees codependency issues through either excessive parental control and criticism or alternating nurturing and neglect.
Childhood trauma, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, also contributes as attention and affection become associated with mistreatment. Unfortunately, unresolved codependency easily passes from one generation to the next.
Getting properly diagnosed is an essential first step in treating Codependency. Our trained medical health professionals will conduct thorough evaluations that explore your history and duration of codependent tendencies, as well as assess your childhood and upbringing.
We aim to identify how your Codependency manifests and seek to help alleviate those tendencies, poor communication skills, and provide you with the resources necessary to build boundaries, self-identity, and self-worth.

More About NateWhen is inpatient or residential treatment appropriate for codependency?
Recognizing when codependency effects warrant residential treatment is crucial. Key indicators include pervasive relationship problems, severe emotional distress, and significant disruption in daily functioning. If codependency leads to neglect of personal health, overwhelming anxiety, or depression, it’s time to consider inpatient treatment.
Residential treatment becomes essential when the condition interferes with work, social life, and overall well-being. It offers a structured environment, professional support, and the necessary tools to heal and regain independence. When these symptoms become unmanageable and persistent, seeking residential treatment for Codependency is a proactive step towards recovery.

Through therapy, individuals can uncover the root causes of their Codependent behaviors and learn coping strategies to overcome them.
