About Mary DeYon
I am a Codependency Coach helping people who are in a relationship with an alcoholic or addict. I shine a light on the symptoms of codependent behavior to help you build a happier life. I learned from Al-anon and feel I am the next step to true freedom from codependency. Whether you are enabling your alcoholic or addict to continue their habit or you are dealing with a narcissist, I can help.
I have coping strategies that really work to allow you to have the life you deserve. People pleasing, boundary setting, fear and worry are all Codependent traits that we think are part of our personality. But they are not. These are habits that we can change. When we learn some simple tools we are able to find a peaceful way to live even in the midst of the chaos.
I grew up with an alcoholic father and swore I would never marry one. But I did not once, but twice. And both of my husbands added drugs to the mix. Years of Al-anon and other groups along with much self-study of the leaders in the field, I have been able to live a truly happy life and now help others to do the same.
My approach is to take you from where you are right now whether you are in a relationship or not and move you forward. The first step is placing the focus back on you to establish a picture of the life you want. We look at all the ways to get you to that place.
Secondly, we work on the blocks to your happiness. Releasing guilt, shame and working on forgiveness are important in moving forward. Teaching detachment is one of my specialties. The miracle of detachment has been pivotal to my own happiness and the happiness of my clients.
When we become free of the blocks to our happiness we live from a space inside us that is connected to our Higher Power. When we live from this place we become clear on our boundaries and never let anyone take advantage of us. We stop over-giving as we take back our power. And we don’t enable our alcoholic or addict to keep drinking and drugging.
My Book, What Does Love Have to do With it? Excruciating Lessons on My Path to Enlightenment is a codependent’s memoir. It is available on Amazon in paperback, Kindle and an audio version.
