Yes! Although it may take some time and effort to work through the underlying issues that led to this behavior pattern, there are effective treatments available such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, psychotherapy groups specifically for codependents, mindfulness meditation, art therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). With the help of a professional therapist who specializes in treating codependency—and dedication towards adopting healthier coping skills—it is possible to break out of this maladaptive cycle and lead more fulfilling lives independently from external sources of validation.
