Codependency often develops as an unconscious survival response to early trauma, such as growing up with emotionally unavailable, unpredictable, or struggling caregivers, where safety meant staying small, pleasing others, and suppressing needs. These patterns carry into adulthood, creating cycles of relationships where self-worth depends on caretaking, boundaries are blurred, and fear of abandonment overrides personal needs. Breaking free requires more than changing behaviours, it means healing the nervous system, re-learning self-trust, and redefining love as unconditional rather than earned through sacrifice.
At Camino Recovery, clients are supported with evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, family therapy, and experiential methods such as equine-assisted psychotherapy to process trauma, build boundaries, and restore a sense of identity. Recovery is about coming home to yourself, learning that self-care is not selfish, and creating relationships rooted in wholeness and respect instead of fear and obligation 🙌
