Relationships impact our lives in every aspect. Part of having healthy relationships is to be able to understand and identify unhealthy patterns in ourselves and others. This course focuses on treatments and modalities that clinicians can use in a therapeutic setting to help their clients, couples, or families improve their skills working with those struggling with abusive relationships or codependency.
Practical interventions are primarily the focus with a 6.0 hour course also available at Counselor's Choice Award with more information on theory related to codependency.
The seminar reviews the current areas of research on different ways of treating codependent behaviors.
Areas of focus for the course will include the development and use of codependency, understanding Dependent Personality Disorder, attachment styles, and using tools with clients.
This course will complete an overview of the most common questions to use for clients to be able to help you better directly address the underlying problems by using the therapeutic alliance rather than at its cost. In digestible and simple terms, ways of approaching the subject with analogy and exploring values through pointed questions will be reviewed as well
Objectives
• Be able to define how to examine relationship roles to identify and define unhealthy codependent patterns.
• Apply objective measurements to quantify and understand the impact of unhealthy dependent emotional needs and behaviors.
