Why Therapy or Psychotherapy?
Why is it so hard to cure codependency issues without the support and guidance of an experienced and compassionate therapist?
I believe that our lives get set on a particular path in childhood. And further -
I believe that powerful drives and motivations developed in the course of childhood can be so strong that they remain the key driving force in a person’s adult life.
I have observed personality patterns, established in childhood, have enough momentum to continue for half one's life-time. At that point some mid-life crisis might intervene to challenge our main personality pattern.
Now codependency fits right into the above patterns. It is part of a path that is set in childhood. It reflects a motivation or drive established in childhood. In fact it is one aspect of a personality pattern that has been established in childhood.
The fact that codependency is a reflection of a fixed personality pattern provides a clue as to why is is so hard to change. People live within the perceptions, beliefs and emotion of their personality. It is not so easy to ‘look in a mirror’ and be different.
As a psychotherapist I have made it part of my mission in life to discern and understand personality patterns. It is also part of my mission to guide people in recognizing and transforming their personality pattern.
Psychotherapy with those stated objectives cannot be undertaken by anyone. It is a job for a highly skilled professional. The understanding of how to transition out of personality patterns is not widespread even among professional counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists.
So do not be surprised that it is hard to cure on one’s own and may even take some time working with a professional. A 12 Step Group can help be raising awareness and providing support and accountability. These are big steps in the direction of a cure.

Some stories of happy clients
A student worked with me (George) because of anxiety, panic attacks that interfered with University work. Within a few months he had a grasp of the root issue and experienced a breakthrough in the level of anxiety when dealing with a comparable situation from the previous year.

A financial analyst came for healing and guidance in dealing with a marriage breaking up and an abusive workplace. He loved the peace and calm as we finished the session with a Christian guided meditation. (George)
