Transformational Addiction Recovery Program in Maui, Hawaii
“Codependency is a circular relationship in which one person needs the other person, who in turn, needs to be needed. The codependent person, known as ‘the giver,’ feels worthless unless they are needed by — and making sacrifices for — the enabler, otherwise known as ‘the taker.” – Dr. Exelberg
According to Jonathan Becker who is an associate professor of clinical psychiatry at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee,
“Codependency is typically discussed in the context of substance use, where one person is abusing the substance, and he or she depends on the other person to supply money, food, or shelter. But Codependency is much broader than that. Codependency can be defined as any relationship in which two people become so invested in each other that they cannot function independently anymore. Your mood, happiness, and identity are defined by the other person. In a codependent relationship, there is usually one person who is more passive and cannot make decisions for themselves and a more dominant personality who gets some reward and satisfaction from controlling the other person and making decisions about how they will live.”
Codependent personalities typically follow a pattern of behaviors that are consistent, problematic, and directly interfere with the individual’s emotional health and ability to find fulfillment in a relationship.
They will feel as if you have lost a sense of themselves within the relationship.

Codependency can develop in all sorts of relationships, such as:
In 2006 a small survey by Lisa Romano was created on Google to try to understand what people feel and how we secretly feel about ourselves. The results came from 1,000 individuals and consisted of answers from over 200 countries.
What her survey found was that:
94% of the individuals feel invisible and unheard.
85% secretly feel like they are unworthy of love, peace, abundance, and happiness.
82% secretly worry more about the needs of others than of their own.
People with Codependency have good intentions. The problem is that their “rescue” attempts allow the other individual to continue with their destructive behavior.
Many medical professionals alike avidly treat and view Codependency as a ‘family disease.’ This is due to the relationship dynamics that go along with Codependency. There are typically emotional, mental, and physical issues are exacerbated by the disease. One of the biggest problems clients face is simply the urge to fall back into old habits. The significant components of success rely on being consistent and level-headed. Our recovery program incorporates recognizing behavioral issues and offers treatment to long-term success.
The four steps for Codependency recovery:
CBT is a form of psychotherapy that is categorized as “solutions-oriented.” Its focus is to modify any dysfunctional thoughts, emotions, or behaviors.
Surf therapy is a holistic form of therapy that promotes mental, psychological, and spiritual well-being
