This is an interactive, self-development, transformational live experience with Anne & Heather! The event format is to facilitate you working through barriers to creating healthy relationships by confronting the codependent strategies you use that are causing issues.

This is NOT an event where you come, share feelings, and then go home and do relationships the same dysfunctional way you've been doing them before. Our approach is strategically designed to expose your codependent strategies and empower your authentic self so that you can transform your relationships!


If you are codependent, you are not alone.
Statistics show that 90% of all Americans identify with being codependent, especially in their relationships.

Some say it's a disease or mental illness.
Others say they are addicted to love.
Many believe they are powerless to do anything about it.

Did you know that these are three of the most common myths that cause us to suffer needlessly in unhappy relationships? Many therapists suggest talking about the pain of being codependent.

But to really free yourself to be in a healthy relationship, you have to
talk about Power -
THE POWER OF CHOICE!

BEING CODEPENDENT MEANS WE ARE STUCK IN THE PAST

Did you know that when you are stuck in the codependent stage of development, you bond as children do in relationships because that's the only way you know how? You seek relationships with others who make you feel either safe, useful, in control or needed. This immediately sets up a power dynamic with one person dominating and the other submitting to make the relationship work.

By becoming submissive, you try to be what you believe others want you to be so they will accept and love you. You conform to someone else's norm distancing yourself from your authentic self. You try hard to do what they expect you to be and not necessarily who you are. You project Power and authority onto them, make everything about them, sometimes acting like we have no rights, needs or expectations.

Alternately, you can use dominant strategies, working hard to get others to conform to what you want and need them to be. You will work really hard to try to make the other person into who you need them to be. By taking care of them, you stay in a dominant role, cut off from your own wants and needs, focusing on fixing them and acting like you have no emotions, needs, or issues. You take their Power by making them dependent on you.

In codependent relationships, we try to get from others what was not given to us in our formative relationships. Because we got stuck there, we are trying to pick up where we left off. That means we have relationships like a 8, 14, or 17 year old. Wherever we happen to get stuck. We don't know how to use authentic Power, so we use the strategies that worked as a kid.

It's SO hard to stop having codependent relationships when you believe you are hopelessly codependent. And while you've tried everything to make relationships work and change the behavior of the others you're in relationships with, things are STILL going SO very wrong. And you're STILL dissatisfied. Sad, isn't it? You've probably tried 12-step programs, individual and group therapy, relationship counselling, and talking endlessly to friends. Yet, you STILL can't get your partner and others to act the way you think they SHOULD.

BUT WAIT A SECOND...

  • Changing others is the agenda of someone stuck in the Codependent Stage of Development
  • Blaming others and expecting them to be different is what keeps us stuck
  • Putting our energy into others so we can feel less powerless and make the relationship tolerable still doesn't meet our needs

That's because TRYING to make the relationship work and
changing others means you haven't been focusing on YOU!

  • Takes you beyond the so-called symptoms of Codependence
  • Shows you how to emerge powerful by owning your behavioral strategies that create codependent relationships
  • Leaves you feeling empowered to take on whatever relationship challenges you may face with new insights, self-awareness, and relationship tools

We know what it takes to help you do relationships from your authentic self.
This transformational workshop will take you beyond the current limitations of your codependent strategies.

But it takes more than sharing your past, being validated by others, or expressing emotions to change. ALTHOUGH ALL OF THESE ARE IMPORTANT, it takes the POWER OF CHOICE to move beyond the dysfunctional behaviors and beliefs that cause you to settle in relationships.

OVERVIEW OF THE EVENT


Day 1:
Friday Evening

During the first evening, we'll enlighten you about what Codependence REALLY is and why you keep creating the same codependent relationships. We'll do some myth-busting about Codependence to start the process of setting yourself free from self-limiting beliefs. And, best of all, we'll give you visibility into the previously invisible Codependent Strategies in all your relationships: marriage, parenting, family, business, friends... even your relationship with yourself!

You'll learn that the beliefs and strategies you adopted to survive in your relationships are based both on nature and nurture. How your brain is organized has so much to do with how you behave in relationships. When you are stuck in the codependent stage, these beliefs get in the way of your growth and development, especially when you allow the events and relationships from the past control how you behave in relationships today.

In this evening session, you will open the door to future relationships that aren't framed by "I can't do or say that, because when I was a kid…" You will be offered the choice of finally releasing yourself from the patterns of behavior that have held you back from satisfying relationships.

  • ​What is Codependence?
  • ​Myths about Codependence that stop our growth

The Power Past Codependent Relationships Event ISN'T For Everyone

We know what it takes to experience breakthroughs and what it takes to change codependent relationship strategies. It is not for the observers, the faint of heart, those who aren’t ready to embrace the POWER OF CHOICE.

So, if you want to come, sit back and watch without DOING the work… NOTHING in your relationships will change.

If you're looking for a "quick fix" or a trick or a new way to help or change others, you're going to be disappointed. That's not what we do here.

We focus on giving YOU the breakthrough insights, self-awareness and tools to do relationships from your authentic self.

And it's in the IMPLEMENTATION of new behaviors in real life that causes change in your relationships.

It's NOT because you told them they have to change or you have found just the right fix for them to make their breakthrough.

At the Power Past Codependent Relationships Event, you will learn how to stop using the behaviors and strategies you might not even be aware you are doing that foster codependence in your relationship and learn to encourage a “we” partnership.

If you think they have to change for you to be okay, you’re operating from your codependent "my way or the highway" strategy, expecting if you harp long enough or show the other person through your own behavior what they SHOULD be doing and you aren’t willing to try something NEW, this is going to be challenging for you.

So, if you are ready to dive in and do the work, the Power Past Codependent Relationships Event set you on course to having relationships that support you being all that you can be, in your life, in your career and in the fulfilment of your potential.

The Key to Powering Past Codependent Relationships

is by attending our live weekend event!

How many books, articles, podcasts, and webinars have you read and listened to and not changed your behavior? You probably keep looking for something new and different to do to get others to behave differently toward you and nothing seems to work. The more you try, the more disillusioned you become.

That’s because conforming and trying to be what others want or trying to change others behavior and get them to conform is the root of the codependent relationship.

The solution is simple - STOP TRYING. Just be you. But wait…

Here’s where you might be thinking:

  • That makes me feel anxious
  • Others won’t like me
  • I could never do that
  • ​Others will get mad
  • ​I’ll get fired
  • ​I won’t have any friends

And so the excuses go.

Unless you are willing to accept you don’t have to try or work so hard at it, you will keep making excuses and blaming yourself and all the other negative self-talk you use when your relationships are unsatisfying.

WITH EVERYTHING THAT’S AT STAKE, ARE YOU WILLING TO SAY “NO” TO A WEEKEND EVENT THAT WILL

CHANGE EVERYTHING YOU DON’T LIKE ABOUT THE WAY YOU BEHAVE IN RELATIONSHIPS?
