Continuing Education Workshop Description:

Codependency shows up in the therapy room more than you think!

This continuing education workshop will provide you with a definition of codependency, help you identify it in clients, and help you conceptualize treatment of codependent patterns that contribute to clients’ depression, anxiety, and relationship distress. 

Though not a DSM diagnosis, understanding the concept of codependency can inform how we help our clients change their lives from needing to please and be in control (i.e., by acquiescing or over-performing) to forging authentic relationships based on clear, honest interaction.

1. Have a working definition of codependency

2. Know how to recognize codependency in clients
