Trapped in patterns of fixing, pleasing, or managing everyone around them, codependent clients come to your office, anxious, depressed and in seriously unhealthy relationships.
But sessions are tough as they continually steer the conversation back to someone else – the fear of looking inward pushing them to retreat into the familiar territory of putting others first and themselves last.
If you’re not careful you can end up joining them in trying to solve the problems of others, missing chances for self-discovery and healing.
That’s why recognized codependency expert and author, Nancy Johnston, LPC, created this 2-day training – to give you the tools to help your clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, establish healthier boundaries, and foster more authentic and fulfilling connections with others!
You’ll get:
This is the step-by-step guide for taking clients from codependency to self-recovery. Packed with assessment tools, specific interventions, skill building exercises, case studies and more, there has never been a better chance to get tangible, life-changing results for your clients.
PLUS, you get The Clinician’s Codependency Treatment Workbook FREE when you register!
