"Being at Life Works has been a life changing experience. I feel ready to take what I have learn't out into a happier and more fulfilling life" Esther, Co-dependent

When you are not problem solving, managing a crisis, listening to a needy friend or helping a loved one, do you feel alone, empty, fearful? Is your care for others bringing you pain, confusion, resentment, exhaustion, hopelessness?

CoDependency has been defined in many different ways, but its effects are unmistakable. Those who suffer from codependency are desperate to somehow be fulfilled by someone or something. And, when this fails, as it inevitably must, the desperation is deepened with despair, which fuels the self-defeating patterns more.

This devastating cycle can be stopped. By recognizing the need for help and reaching out to receive it, the codependent takes the essential first step toward change.

Working with childhood wounds, unhealthy relationship patterns that often form in adolescence and early adulthood, addictive behaviours such as overworking, overspending, eating disorders, compulsive and obsessive cycles, mood swings and attempts to control the uncontrollable are all an integral part of the recovery journey.

At Life Works, we understand how disabling codependency really is, and we have offered hope and healing to so many people who were seeking relief and instead, found the path to themselves.
