By NANCY JOHNSTON

Do you see clients who overfunction for others while underfunctioning for themselves?

Maybe your client is a chronic people-pleaser who can't seem to say no, a parent who continues to rescue their adult child from the consequences of their addiction, a survivor of abuse who minimizes and numbs their emotional pain, or someone who simply has no idea who they are or what they want because they've spent their entire life anticipating and catering to the needs of others.

In The Clinician's Codependency Treatment Workbook, you'll learn how to identify telltale symptoms of this relational dynamic and help clients restore their connection to who they truly are.
