Common Questions
How Does Therapy Help with Codependency??
Therapy for codependency helps you recognize patterns where your sense of self may depend on others’ approval, emotions, or behaviors. Therapy strengthens self-worth, promotes healthy boundaries, and teaches skills to create balanced, fulfilling relationships.
What are relational and attachment wounds?
Relational and attachment wounds are emotional patterns stemming from early relationships with caregivers that may shape how you relate to others. Therapeutic approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting can further support this tender work by allowing deeper healing beyond what talk therapy alone can reach. Over time, therapy helps you can begin to recognize patterns, shift old responses, and build healthier, more secure connections in your adult life.
How does understanding my past help in therapy?
Insights developed in therapy help make sense of the past, creating space for healing. Understanding where patterns come from help you recognize triggers, notice automatic responses, and respond more intentionally in relationships and daily life.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on your goals. Some people notice progress within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We work together to move at a pace that fits your needs and comfort.
