Codependency & Workshops

Understanding Codependency and

Finding Freedom in Your Relationships

Codependency is a complex and often misunderstood concept in relationships. It refers to a dysfunctional pattern of behavior where one person excessively relies on another for approval, validation, and a sense of identity. This can lead to an unhealthy dynamic where boundaries are blurred, needs are not effectively communicated, and individuals may prioritize the needs of others over their own well-being. Recognizing codependent behaviors is the first step towards resolving these issues and fostering healthier relationships. By understanding the root causes of codependency and learning to set boundaries, individuals can work towards breaking free from this cycle and developing more balanced and fulfilling connections with others.

Codependency can be a challenging issue to address, but with self-awareness and dedication, it is possible to overcome. One key step in resolving codependency is setting healthy boundaries in relationships and learning to prioritize your own needs and well-being. Seeking help can also be incredibly beneficial, as it provides a safe space to explore the root causes of codependent behaviors and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Additionally, practicing self-care, building self-esteem, and cultivating hobbies and interests outside of the relationship can help individuals regain a sense of independence and self-worth. Remember, breaking free from codependency is a journey that requires patience and persistence, but with the right support and mindset, it is achievable.

Second Stage Recovery

No matter how long one has been in recovery or abstinent; 6 days, 6 years, or 26 years there is always work to do. 2 nd stage recovery will talk you to a new depth of recovery and understanding of yourself and how to “work your recovery”.

It is one thing to know what to do for recovery/abstinence and it is yet another to learn “how to” make it all work with life (work, spouse, kids, commitments) swirling around us. This week will:
- Help you prioritize your life
- Take you to a deeper level of understanding of self and connection with the God of your understanding and how it relates to your recovery and abstinence
- Discover how to get yourself “unstuck” and begin/continue to life a fulfilling life of recovery/abstinence
- Recognize and deal with any issues not yet confronted OR that need additional work
This week starts on a Saturday with registration at 2:00 and concludes the following Friday at 10:00.
Limited space is available in order to maximize your experience.

The best thing you can do is prepare mentally for the upcoming life changes. Mental preparation is key to navigating transitions with resilience and adaptability. By acknowledging and accepting that change is a natural part of life, you can equip yourself with the mindset needed to embrace new opportunities and challenges that come your way. Cultivating a positive outlook, practicing self-care, and seeking support from loved ones can all contribute to strengthening your mental readiness for whatever lies ahead. Remember, change can be intimidating, but by preparing yourself mentally, you can approach it with confidence and a sense of empowerment.
