Codependency is a widespread occurrence that can negatively impact one's individuation, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships while creating a cascade of symptoms. People experiencing codependency tend to have trouble accepting and being themselves, so they hide who they are to be accepted by someone else.
The same problems stemming from codependency can arise in the therapeutic relationship. Therapists unaware of how their own codependency affects their countertransference may not only experience anxiety and burnout, but may also stagnate therapy and even harm those in treatment. The presentation will address countertransference issues involving fear of abandonment, denial, control, guilt, caretaking, boundaries, and the handling of missed appointments, termination, and fees. Participants will gain specific strategies to avoid these pitfalls and intervene therapeutically, to set and maintain boundaries, and to implement practice policies. This presentation will be based upon the article featured in the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) magazine, The Therapist.
