Codependency & Relationship Trauma Focused Group Therapy for Women

Codependency is a term mostly used with individuals struggling with addiction. However, codependency, like addiction, is insidious and can be traced to growing up in homes where caregivers did not fully satisfy the need for attention, affection, and validation. Saying that a person is “clingy” is an oversimplification of codependency since their clinginess may be their effort to compensate for attention, affection, and validation they did not receive in childhood.

 

A codependent relationship is when one partner needs the other, who needs to be needed. It is the type of relationship with one partner who chases after the other, typically engaging in withdrawal and avoidant behaviors, despite needing attention, affection, and validation. This circular relationship is the basis of what experts refer to when they describe the “cycle” of codependency.

Codependency and Relationship Trauma

This group will take you through your childhood experience to show you how your self-esteem and self-worth were compromised due to your caregiver-infant experience. Consequently, your belief that self-sacrifice, pursuing and controlling behaviors are your way to signal to your partner that you are there for them only exacerbates your insecurity.


Codependent relationships thrive between friends, romantic partners, or family members where childhood trauma (neglect, abandonment, interparental conflict, divorce, intimate partner violence) occurred. The codependent relationship often involves emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Sometimes the codependent is manipulated by the withdrawing/avoidant partner by gaslighting and guilting. Friends and family members know your relationship is unhealthy; however, you may be the last to recognize it. The New Hope Mental Health Counseling Services introduces this group for women because of  double standards and customs that normalize self-sacrificing behaviors.

Pat brings over 20 years of experience as a Nationally Certified Workforce Development Professional and Certified Career Coach. She has a passion to assist her clients with finding the right career fit. She recognizes how codependency and trauma can prevent you from forging ahead to be the best you can become in this life. Over the years she has worked with individuals with long-standing codependency patterns that became barriers to asserting themselves or setting boundaries with coworkers. Change is a factor that keeps people mired in dysfunctional relationships, including work because they believe they have to take care of others. This can lead to burnout and resentment. Pat wants to help you balance your relationships so you can live your best life.
