Depression is a persistent sadness that affects your ability to enjoy life. It often entails feelings of worthlessness, difficulty concentrating and changes in sleep and appetite. Depression is more than an occasional case of the blues – it’s pervasive, lasts for at least two weeks and affects your ability to carry out your daily tasks. This disorder can lead to self-harm and thoughts of suicide, and should be taken seriously. Depression symptoms can include:
Depression often co-occurs with other conditions, like anxiety, and can increase your risk for addiction when substances are used to self-medicate.
Depression also tends to occur as a symptom of codependency.
Codependency is a dysfunctional, unequal relationship. In codependent relationships, one person is constantly giving up their own needs for the other’s. Codependency is a very common theme in relationships involving addiction. This can look like:
If you’re in a codependent relationship, you might be very unhappy, but feel trapped in it. This is because your sense of responsibility for your partner’s feelings and actions may make you feel too guilty to leave.
Depression and codependency can affect anyone. Still, certain risk factors can increase the likelihood that you’ll experience these often coupled conditions.
You may be at higher risk for codependency if:
Depression, in general, is more common among women. Dysthymia, the type of depression most commonly associated with codependency, affects over 5% of the US population.
It’s common for people with this form of depression to attribute it to external circumstances rather than seeing its real, underlying cause. This often leads to the thought that if only something in your life changed, you’d finally feel better. But true healing for codependency and depression requires us to look deep within ourselves.
At The Sanctuary, taking a holistic approach to depression and codependency means we treat the whole self.
Codependency is an unequal exchange of energy: we give more out than we take in, until we’re completely unbalanced. Often, our society rewards this. But when we learn to give and take equally, we find that we can have healthy relationships, and the depression that comes from toxic relationships is lifted.
Holistic depression and codependency treatment aims to restore this balance.
When healing takes place holistically, we feel well from the inside out. In this sustainable form of wellness, we don’t have to live a life of symptom management.
Holistic alternative depression codependency treatment at The Sanctuary teaches you how to:
Ultimately, this teaches us to love and support those around us in a real, sustainable way.
Holistic means we see you as a complete person made of integrated systems, not just a diagnosis. Our program is designed to guide you on a transformative journey to heal all parts of yourself. This includes therapies for your:
Many people who come to us for codependency treatment have never even asked themselves what they want; they decided a long time ago that it wasn’t important.
Is what you want always defined by, and contrasted against, someone else’s needs?
Imagine yourself being free from the stress of taking care of and controlling everyone around you. Do you want to learn how to be of service and give to the world in a way that doesn’t deplete you, but feels good?
We can teach you how.
