If you are struggling with codependence, you may feel insecure, anxious, or unhappy in your relationships. You may have difficulty setting boundaries, expressing your needs, or taking care of yourself. You may also feel responsible for other people’s feelings, problems, or behaviours. You may think that your worth and happiness depend on others, and that you have to please them or fix them to be loved.

But what if I told you that there is a way to heal from codependence and develop healthy and fulfilling relationships? A way that does not require you to change or sacrifice yourself for others? A way that can help you discover and embrace your true self, your values, and your purpose?

That way is Codependence Anonymous (CoDA), a 12-step program for people who share a common desire to develop healthy relationships. CoDA is a worldwide network of groups of men and women who support and share with each other in a journey of self-discovery and recovery.

CoDA can also support your psychotherapy journey in several ways. Here are some of the benefits of joining CoDA along with psychotherapy:

If you are interested in joining CoDA, you can find a local or online meeting near you on their website. You can also read their literature, such as the CoDA book, the CoDA workbook, or the CoDA pamphlets, to learn more about the program. You can also talk to your therapist about how to integrate CoDA into your psychotherapy plan.

Remember, you are not alone. You can heal from codependence and develop healthy relationships with the help of CoDA and psychotherapy.
