We encourage you to pray and allow God to provide you with clarity and peace of mind in your decision-making process!



About The Codependent
Workshop Program

Sometimes a support group isn't enough. We may come to a season in our life where we require help at a level that our church or recovery community cannot offer. The Codependent Workshop Program at New Life Spirit Recovery is set up to give the codependent the opportunity to say "it's time I take care of me." Through an intensive counseling and educational approach, the codependent is asked to do a fearless self-confrontation process to press deeply into the healing principles of the Lord Jesus Christ. You will spend time not just assessing what’s wrong in your life today, but deal specifically with the deeper roots that have driven you to this point.  Through a Christ-centered clinical approach, this journey can move you through your past not to dwell on it, but to identify false belief systems and shame messages acquired. This will help you to capture the lies you’ve been told and replace them with the truth of who God says you are. While it sounds so simple, it’s an intensive process of peeling back the various layers of your codependence and coping mechanisms to get at the heart of why your life hasn’t been working. As you agree to step into truth, you will find what you’ve been looking – true, authentic freedom.  And not just that, you will have the opportunity to acquire new tools to bring into your relationships – tools that are empowered with the truth of God and His redemptive grace, that also allow you to form godly boundaries.

Professional Program Contents:

Assessment

The assessment is the first thing we must do in order to understand how to best help you. It occurs after a variety of paperwork and a personal life story has been written. The goal of the assessment is for the counselor to understand, identify and provide a treatment plan within your chosen timeframe that sets specific goals relevant to your particular needs and circumstances. On occasion, the counselor may find additional outside services that are necessary and will coordinate with you accordingly.

Crisis Intervention

While it may not be the case for everyone, often, the person suffering from codependence is attempting to balance a relationship that is imbalanced physically, financially, emotionally or spiritually. By the time a person seeks help, this relationship is often so painful and consuming, that specific resources and homework assignments need to be offered to address it immediately. However, at the same time, once that situation can be stabilized, we believe it is absolutely important for the codependent to take the time to assess and understand their own emotional pain and issues that led up to the current circumstances.

Individual Counseling Sessions
Our private counseling sessions offer you the opportunity to work through unique needs and challenges you face both in your current circumstances and throughout your lifetime. With your counselor, you'll also look at overall patterns and events from childhood through adulthood. The goal of counseling isn't just to deal with the current situations, but to also identify and understand driving roots. The goal of treatment is to deal with any trauma, emotional difficulties or other life events that have not yet been fully addressed

Workbook material
The core curriculum used in the New Life Spirit Recovery codependence program is based on the nationally recognized book  "The Christian Codependence Recovery Workbook: from Surviving to Significance" written by our Director, Stephanie Tucker. This book is a 12-module approach to understanding and properly dealing with codependence.  

Codependent Workshops
We offer codependent workshops and classes both in treatment and through our ministry.  These workshops include a teaching on a specific chapter in the workbook each week. The class then breaks into small group discussions.  It's a safe place both to learn and process through a variety of issues pertaining to codependence.

Self-paced Spiritual Workshop
The spiritual workshop is designed to lay the foundation of God's truth. It is intended to get people into the Word, to minister to their spirits and to recall the many promises of God.

Homework and Self Evaluation 
We don't believe homework assignments are a minor thing, we believe that through written homework, most breakthroughs will transpire. It gives you the opportunity to connect personally with those thoughts, feelings and behaviors that need to be dealt with.

What are the Program  Options Costs?
Our desire is to package the best, most comprehensive and most affordable option available on the Christian treatment market. We've strived hard to keep our costs as low as possible while at the same time not compromising excellence. As you will discover, this cost is considerably less than other facilities who provide a far less comprehensive approach.

Our outpatient treatment program only costs $3,000 for the entire program, and can be broken into a variety of options:

  • 4-week option– Receive three counseling sessions a week along with classes, groups and workshops. It’s an intensive option for someone completely dedicated to taking some time off from normal responsibilities.  
  • 6-week option– Receive two counseling sessions a week along with classes, groups and workshops. This is a bit more flexible for someone who is working, but still requires a lot of time and attention
  • 12-week option– Receive one counseling session a week along with whatever class, group or workshops fits your schedule. This is much more flexible for the person working full-time, but not as intensive. (If desired this option is offered for 4 weeks at $1,000 or 8 weeks at $2,000. This would include the one session per week plus classes and workshops based on availability. This would be far less intense and would not complete the entire process, but would offer some level of treatment to initiate life-long recovery).

Do you suffer from codependence? Know the signs!
 
On a scale of 1-5, with 1 being the least and 5 being the most, answer the following:
  • I have difficulty saying “no” when people ask me to do something, even when I know I should not do it.
  • I feel I need cover up for irresponsible people in my life because I don't want them to suffer. I'd rather "fill in and help them" then see them get consequences. It's my job to assist them.
  • I understand that it is my job to fix, manage and hold my family/relationship together.
  • I work hard to be thoughtful and nice to others and get angry when they don't respond or reciprocate my efforts.                                                
  • I like to be around people that need my help. I avoid situations where I would not have a task or a "duty" to perform for others.
  • I worry about how I make people feel. It directly affects my own feelings.
  • When I get in close relationships, I change to try that please that person. I often "read" people to figure out how I should act.
  • I don't like being alone. I need to be around others all the time.
  • I am afraid of people. I need to isolate.
  • Being "good to myself" is equivalent to selfishness
  • Other people's needs always come before mine, even if it I have urgent needs and they do not
  • In the areas of my life where I experience approval, I often become over-involved. In the areas of failure, I detach and withdraw.  
  • If something is not perfect I see it as a failure
  • I become defensive when others point out my imperfections
  • I often measure myself in accordance with other people. It leaves me feeling as if I'm "better" then others sometimes, and "worse" then others at other times.
  • I'd rather hang out with people that I perceive as "less" then myself so I can be in a role of helping, solving or fixing their problems.
  • I feel very inadequate when people seem to "have it all together." I tend to avoid friendships with those type of people.  
  • Deep down inside, I don’t really like myself and don't want people to know the "real me"
  • I tend to blame and criticize people and circumstances for my feelings.
  • I have a hard time leaving relationshps, even if they are unhealthy
  • I have a difficult time asking people for  help, even when it's necessary.
  • I feel sometimes that if I don't do it myself, it will never get done right
  • I find it difficult to speak what I truly feel or ask for what I need.
  • I have secret sins in my life that I cannot not let others know about because it would ruin my image of being the "strong one" (i.e., alcohol, drugs, food addiction, sex, pornography, etc.)  
     
If you have answered two or more of these with a "5", you most likely have codependence roots in your life. If you consistenly scored "4's and 5's" it is also an indication of severe codepedence tendencies that may require a deeper level of recovery. Learn here about codependent resources.
