(WC Johnston 059056 2023) The Codependency Treatment Guide

Course overview

You see these clients all the time. Preoccupied with others, people with co-dependence issues desperately try to please, manage, or fix those in their closest relationships. After years of putting their own needs aside these clients become stuck in externally focused self-sacrificing patterns they do not even recognize. By the time they show up in your office with anxiety, depression and significant relationship issues they have completely lost their true selves. But knowing what to do with these clients in therapy can be exasperating as again and again they shift the focus of sessions away from themselves and toward others. Their unwillingness to drop down into their own emotions, thoughts and actions can leave you feeling demoralized and drained as you spin your wheels session after fruitless session. If you are not careful, you can end up joining the client as they look to solve their own problems by solving the problems of others.
