However after years in her therapy practice, she realized that many of her clients were presenting codependent behaviours that fell outside of the classic model. Terri calls this new paradigm “high-functioning codependency” (HFC). The ironic truth with high-functioning codependency is that t...

While grief is not a mental health issue in the same way as...
