Caregivers and Codependency in Elderly Care in McKinney, TX

Elderly care services from Visiting Angels can be a positive example of how to care for seniors in McKinney, Allen, Plano and Frisco, TX, and help family caregivers who have issues with codependency.

Codependency refers to a circumstance in which one person may need another in a way that can be characterized as “unhealthy.” People within these situations may often use the term to try to rationalize their behavior. Context can help identify codependent situations.

At Visiting Angels of McKinney, TX, our caregivers provide the elderly care services your loved one deserves as well as give you a positive example of how care could be provided.

A more specific definition is needed to better understand codependency. Co-Dependents Anonymous, Inc. sums it up pretty well: “Codependency is a tendency to behave in ways that negatively impact one’s relationship and quality of life. This behavior may be characterized by denial, low self-esteem, compliance or control patterns.

These behaviors include:

Denial Patterns

Believing oneself to be entirely selfless, the inability to recognize feelings and outright denial of those feelings.

Low Self-Esteem Patterns

Low self esteem can be identified by how the individual in question views themselves. If the individual sees themselves as not worthy or good enough, if they don’t value their own views or opinions, or if they become embarrassed after receiving praise, they may be exhibiting signs of low self esteem.

Compliance Patterns

Being overly compliant can be identified by the following: choosing to compromise integrity to avoid rejection, being fearful of expressing opinions, staying in negative situations situations and putting others first.

Control Patterns

Control patterns include the following: trying to tell others how to think or feel, offering advice unprompted, having a desire to feel needed, making the assumption that the other person cannot take care of themselves and potentially resenting anyone who rejects your help.
