FINALLY.... an updated, comprehensive resource to treat codependency for therapists and their clients.
We've had many books available to define the issue of codependency, but little has been written to help therapists treat it. This "How To" manual will help therapists with treatment strategies and clients will have an easy-to-understand resource guide.
Losing one?s soul means that the essence of who the individual is, what dreams and desires they have, their emotions, thoughts, and even their bodies, have been given up for others.
Codependency was once thought to be the outcome of those who lived with and/or loved someone with an addiction, which is still true. However, experts have seen codependency in families who struggle with chronic mental or physical illness, or for clients who have experience abuse and/or neglect.
It's Exciting That:
Therapists can now have a step-by-step process to reclaim lost souls
Clients will have a better understanding of the issue for themselves
