COURSE OVERVIEW

Emotional manipulators and codependents in relationships are in a highly destructive and unhealthy dynamic; yet these relationships are fairly common. The attraction of these two types of individuals seems random and coincidental, but is actually a dance of familiarity which can be very intoxicating and extremely difficult to get out of. This seminar identifies and examines both the characteristics of the emotional manipulator, as well as the codependent.

Explore the complicated dynamics of the relationship between emotional manipulators and codependents, including the continuous cycle of chaos that exists, the intoxicating nature of the relationship and how difficult it is to break free from these relationships. Investigate the patterns that emotional manipulators use to influence and draw in codependents.

At the end of the program, you will leave with a thorough understanding of these toxic and damaging relationships.
