At home, in counselling, or during relationship-support sessions, these codependency and boundaries worksheets give adults a structured way to notice people-pleasing patterns and consider healthier responses. They suit adults working on self-worth, emotional independence, assertiveness and relationship boundaries, including people using individual therapy, couples counselling or recovery-focused support.
Struggling to say no, relying heavily on approval, or losing sight of your own feelings can make relationship patterns difficult to change. These codependency worksheets explore common signs of codependent behaviour, including putting others first, avoiding conflict, matching another person’s mood, and tying self-worth to other people’s opinions.
The information pages outline five patterns linked with codependency: denial, low self-esteem, compliance, control and avoidance. Each pattern is described through recognisable behaviours, such as hiding emotions, staying loyal in harmful situations, giving unwanted advice, fearing rejection, or using vague communication to avoid vulnerability.
Practical pages focus on ways to unlearn people pleasing and build healthier boundaries. Prompts encourage spending time alone, pursuing personal interests, strengthening social support, communicating honestly, setting limits, and considering individual or couples counselling where appropriate.
A relationship values exercise asks the reader to imagine a future celebration and reflect on the qualities and character strengths they want to bring to a partnership. It can be printed for adult therapy clients, support groups, recovery work, couples sessions, or private journalling by anyone wanting to develop more balanced and respectful relationships.
