Workshop Description:
The term Codependency has been used and abused for many decades now and is ready for a makeover. This workshop will clarify and humanize the concept as a healthy human response to the abnormal experience of instability, insecure attachment, neglect, and overall inconsistency in important relationships due to mental illness, addiction, health, financial distress and other stresses. It is a systemic reaction that can derail all members of a family to varying degrees by focusing on external factors for one’s wellbeing. This workshop will outline and demonstrate an experiential group approach to addressing attachment injuries.
