The Birth of Codependency

Counselor Carl (http://serenityonlinetherapy.com) takes you inside the mind of Tommy, an 8-year-old boy whose father is an alcoholic, to show you the birth of codependency in the mind of a wounded child. See how Tommy's immature mind blames himself for his father's abuse and his mother's neglect, which is the birth of shame that lies at the root of codependency. Understand how Tommy comes to believe that his needs and feelings are bad, so he must be what others want him to be. Learn what environments foster codependent beliefs and behaviors in children. Counselor Carl's straight-forward teaching style makes complex concepts easy to understand. Counselor Carl is a licensed, professional counselor with 19 years of clinical experience both online and face-to-face.
