Healing Codependency Facilitator Training
with Erika Wright
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
This program is for therapists and other healing professionals who want to better support their clients around issues related to codependency. Most people struggle with codependent behaviors and patterns (How could we not? It’s baked into us by the culture we live in!) - and yet, there is very little acknowledgment of, or professional training to address, the pervasive impacts and suffering connected to codependency. Whether you have been engaged in your own healing codependency process through my Healing Codependency support groups, or you are coming across this work for the first time, by participating in this training you are sure to deepen your own non-codependent practice in ways that will equip you to support others in their codependency healing journeys.
New to this work or need a refresher about what I mean by “codependency”?
CODEPENDENCY IS THE ACT OF PARTICIPATING IN A DEFENDED, CONDITIONAL, AND TRANSACTIONAL FORM OF LOVE.
At its core, codependency is about controlling and manipulating your own or someone else’s feelings in order to avoid vulnerability.
Ever find yourself working harder at someone else’s life than they are? That’s codependency. Ever notice that you say yes to a whole bunch of stuff that you don’t want to do, especially out of fear of disappointing others? That’s codependency. Ever felt like you’d explode into flames if you actually told the truth about what you need and want? Yep, codependency.
It hurts, huh?
AND IT KEEPS US SMALL AND SCARED AND DISCONNECTED FROM OURSELVES.
When we start healing our codependency, we start getting sober about love. Love is not conditional, nor does it rely on you violating your boundaries and shoving yourself to the side in order to get to have it. Uh uh. That’s not love, folks. That’s something else that we’ve learned through hundreds of years of organized religion, racism, colonialism, misogyny, and other forms of institutionalized oppression. What do all of these forms of oppression have in common? They are fear-based relationship practices.
Our lives change - more accurately, our lives get unimaginably better - when we are willing to release these codependent shapes and patterns. If I can do it, anyone can do it.
I’m here to help you help others transform codependent patterns in the following ways:
- Stop saying yes when you mean no.
- Stop working harder at other people’s (spouse, kid, parent, etc) lives than they do.
- Learn how to tolerate the discomfort of disappointing people.
- Start telling the truth about what you need.
- Learn how to mind your business and let people take care of themselves and their feelings.
- Learn how to love in honest, sober, and vulnerable ways.
- Learn how to treat yourself like the prize that you are.
MEET YOUR FACILITATOR: Erika Wright
I am a Codependency Counselor who is relentlessly passionate about up-leveling my life and supporting others to do the same. Nothing is more thrilling to me than helping people liberate themselves from the conditioning that perpetuates suffering in their lives.
My journey to heal my own codependency has generated some of the most valuable material my life has offered me. Waking up to the unhelpful and destructive patterns of codependency woven throughout my family, ancestry, and the culture at large has been transformative and has sparked my commitment to support others in their process of healing codependency.
What do participants get from the Healing Codependency Facilitator Training?
PROGRAM STRUCTURE + COST:
This program combines participation in a Healing Codependency support group with participation in a dedicated Facilitator Training group. This hybrid model allows Facilitator Training participants to have direct contact with the patterning and content that arise in the support group setting as well as opportunities to observe Erika’s facilitation skills. The Facilitator Training group sessions are designed to be a space where participants can reflect on and think tactically about what they are observing in the support groups. The Facilitator Training group sessions will also make use of the Healing Codependency Facilitator Training Manual and will support participants to understand and apply the 9 Pillars of Healing Codependency to how they work with their own clients.
