Renaissance Malibu Co-Dependency Programs
Co-Dependency is a term that has been greatly overused, but which indicates a common, life destroying orientation: using others, in many ways like an addict uses a drug, to establish one's identity, purpose and sense of well being. Renaissance Malibu offers a special track designed to identify and address co-dependency issues and liberate individuals from the destructive aspects of this condition.
Therapists originated the term co-dependency to describe the behaviors people develop living with alcoholics or addicts. Over time, however, co-dependency has come to be used to describe any chronically dysfunctional pattern of living, especially compulsive behaviors, learned in childhood to cope in a family experiencing great emotional turmoil or trauma. These childhood domestic environments that foster co-dependency in an adult can include mental or physical illness; emotional, physical or sexual abuse; divorce; or a generally abusive, hypercritical household.
Co-Dependency is an orientation founded in fear and is dependent on others and their behaviors. This is not just an overwrought "caring" on the part of the individual with co-dependency. It manifests as a destructive pattern of excessive concern, control, manipulation and obsession with others to the detriment of oneself.
Co-Dependency Help and Treatment
Adults with co-dependency issues have a tendency to get involved in relationships with people who are unreliable, emotionally unavailable, or needy. The person with co-dependency becomes a 'caretaker', trying to provide for and control all aspects of the relationship, to 'fix' the other's dysfunctional world without addressing their own needs and desires. While intentions of someone with co-dependency are good, it is inevitably self-destructive, setting them up for failure and disappointment. Without therapeutic co-dependency help, this damaging cycle will continue, and the co-dependent's emotional needs and expectations can never be fulfilled.
As one of the world's most accomplished co-dependency treatment centers, Renaissance Malibu offers our clients effective, healing co-dependency programs along with a full range of world-class drug and alcohol treatment options (Programs), including:
Psychiatric Evaluation: Upon arrival at Renaissance Malibu, you will have an initial psychiatric evaluation. If further diagnosis is indicated, you will have access to a Clinical Psychologist. Over the course of your co-dependency treatment, you will continue to work regularly with a trained therapist in individual sessions in order to uncover hidden aspects of yourself that are fueling the self-destructive cycle.
Therapy: In contrast to many co-dependency treatment centers that emphasize only group or individual therapy, at Renaissance Malibu we encourage a balance. Recovering from co-dependency means learning healthy ways to connect and communicate with others. Being able to access a positive, life affirming sense of relationship and community is not only something we all crave, but is necessary for recovery.
Healthy Boundaries: In our quest to be loved and accepted, the co-dependent has learned many behaviors that are destructive to growth and well-being. Learning to establish healthy boundaries is critical for ongoing recovery. At Renaissance Malibu we offer groups to help in identifying where poor boundaries have created problems in your life and establishing the tools to make necessary changes possible.
