Co-Dependency Intensive Workshop

Santé’s Free to Be Me: Rescuing Yourself from Codependency Intensive Workshop is a 4-day healing workshop that helps participants understand and identify the impact that relationship choices have had on their life. Utilizing an integrated treatment approach of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT-C), Attachment Theory, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), participants learn new skills and ways of thinking to assist in their recovery. Experiential therapies such as Interactive Art Therapy, Equine Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) also provide participants alternative ways of learning mindfulness skills, incorporating self-care, and understanding habitual relationship patterns and approaches.

CODEPENDENCY: WHAT IS IT?

Codependency has been defined in many ways. However, put simply, codependency is a “relationship addiction.” It is sacrificing one’s own needs and wants, to fulfill the needs and the wants of others. Codependent relationships are very one-sided and bear traits that stem from unhealed trauma wounds, often from childhood.

Am I Codependent?

• Do you often say ‘yes’ without first considering how YOU feel?
• Do you often make excuses for someone else’s bad behavior?
• Is the happiness of your loved one/partner/children, more important than your own?
• Have you lost touch with who you are?
• In relationships, do you often give more than you get?
• Are you drawn to people who are “needy” and/or struggling?
• Do you struggle to set and maintain boundaries?
• Do you avoid conflict or having to feel uncomfortable emotions?
• Are you constantly trying to fill an empty space in your life?
• Do you feel guilty when you try to be assertive?

Who should attend?

• Guilt and shame, often at core of codependency 
• Creating and maintaining personal boundaries 
• One-sided relationships 
• Patterns of rescuing people, leading to constant thoughts of other person’s needs
