7 Somatic Tools To Overcome Codependency

With Sadie Barr

Based on the characteristics from Codependents Anonymous, this course is intended to be adjunct to any therapeutic or 12-step work involving codependency. It differs from cognitive strategies by adding elements of physical healing like building muscular strength, soothing the nervous system and opening energetic channels for stuck energy to flow. Influenced by Rick Hanson, Tara Brach, Deb Dana and Sarahjoy Marsh.

Develop Strong Boundaries

I did not know where to begin to heal my codependence. Being bathed, I'm a codependent environment, I could not even see it. I could just feel it. This course gave me an opportunity to feel it first and then yeah, put concepts to those feelings. It gave me a structure and a base from which to build on in my journey toward healing from codependence. Excellent excellent course!!! Thank you Sadie Barr

I guess I struggled to understand how all of the practices related directly back to codependency. It would have been nice to link that topic through the practices more.

Great class and meditation. So much help with practicing kindness to my inner Critic, she is my friend and not the demon I should ignore or and control. And understand that the more I try to control my friend, the bigger she becomes…amen to that. I loved RAIN method and the WAIT acronyms. Nice to focus on these tools when I need to.
