Relational Recovery Program
Relational Recovery Program is a bespoke workshop that focuses on the fundamentals of codependency and how to break free from the confines of these dysfunctional relationship patterns.
Available as part of our
Day Patient ProgramsAbout The Program
The program is based on the work of Pia Mellody: ‘Breaking Free from Codependency’. Participants are supported to explore their childhood history of emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical and sexual abuses and neglect, allowing them to create functional adult behaviour and healthy relationship patterns.
This program supports people with relationship issues and patterns of behavior in their interpersonal relationships and provides them with awareness around how their own childhood trauma has impacted on their current relationships. Our renowned clinicians will support group members with educational lectures, group therapy and experiential process work to learn how to manage and cope with uncomfortable emotions and create positive experiences and reduce emotional suffering.
