We use the term “codependency” as a way of describing a state of personal and interpersonal discomfort marked by a person’s inability to be in healthy relationship on three levels: Spiritually (with a Higher Power), Intrapersonally (with oneself), and Interpersonally (with others). Another way to view the concept of codependence is in terms of level of maturity. A mature person is one who can handle relationship problems with a balance of consideration, compassion and care for the other as well for oneself.
A codependent has difficulty with their own sense of well-being, and; therefore, will be experienced by others as, perhaps, controlling, withdrawn or extreme in their behaviors and their expression of themselves.
The ultimate goal at Heart Matters is to empower our clients to learn the fundamental skills of esteem, protection, identity, care, and self-control in order to help them move out of their adaptations- “the who they aren’t” and move into their mature self- “the who they really are”- so that they can authentically live life in healthy relationships.
