Part of a six-part series, this guide offers structured activities and insights to help participants understand the roots of their codependent behaviours and begin the process of breaking free from these patterns. Through group reflection, experiential exercises, and supportive dialogue, therapists can help clients gain clarity, develop self-compassion, and start reclaiming their sense of self in relationships.
