The
focus of this entry-level training will be on Co-dependency.
During this day-long workshop we will look at the
characteristics that are common to people who have been raised
in a home with chemical dependency. Areas that will be explored
are the physical effects of Co-dependency; the masks
Co-dependents wear, as well as boundary setting; roles/rules in
the family; the Co-dependent relationship, stages and treatment.
The
goal of this training is to provide participants with a current
understanding of Co-dependency, an awareness of the illness, how
it impacts the family, and the skills necessary to help the
client.
Objectives:
Upon
completion participants will be able to:
-
Identify at least three characteristics of Co-dependency
-
Discuss common Co-dependent patterns
-
Identify the masks of Co-dependency, such as workaholism,
chemical dependency, eating disorders, etc.
-
Learn about counter-transference and how it can impact on
relationships with clients
-
Recognize survival roles that develop in the addicted family
system
-
Learn how Co-dependency recovery parallels alcoholism/drug
abuse recovery
