Abstract

Most conversations surrounding codependency predominantly focus on romantic partnerships or family systems. However, this dysfunctional behavioral pattern is frequently present and often overlooked in workplace dynamics. When it surfaces in professional environments, it can erode productivity, distort professional relationships, and significantly impact organizational health. For EA professionals, a nuanced awareness of codependent behaviors in the workplace is essential for effective intervention and support. This article examines the manifestations of codependency in organizational settings, explores its developmental underpinnings, and highlights promising approaches grounded in cognitive- behavioral therapy (CBT) and evidence-informed practice principles to strengthen best practices within EAPs.
