Another example: Pastoral Counseling for Codependency
My attempts to dominate, control, or overrule my behavior with
SELF DISCIPLINE or SHEER WIILL-POWER,
even with God’s help, didn’t work long term. Why?
They didn’t address my bottom line, subconscious issue
…and Shame and Guilt don’t work long-term.
At the end of my rope, I found EXACTLY what I was looking for...
I found a subculture of practitioners—therapists devoted to inspire human behavior on a level I never knew existed—

Patterns of a Codependent
Instead of telling you that you are a codependent, CoDA has a list of personality patterns found in people who have the addiction. There are different patterns of the various ways codependency can affect you. These include:
Denial patterns
Low self-esteem patterns
Compliance patterns
Control patterns
Avoidance patterns
12-Q, It is up to you to read through the different patterns and determine whether or not you have a codependency issue. The hardest part is being completely honest with yourself when going through the list.
The Recovery Program
12-34. "The idea is that you should accept you have a problem, face it and find a way to rectify it."
The Anonymous recovery programs are a form of rehabilitation in which you work through the steps on your own and at your own pace. There is no right or wrong way concerning how you work through your recovery as long as you follow the steps religiously. A 12-step program is more of a support system than anything else. The idea is that you should accept you have a problem, face it and find a way to rectify it. You need to accept that there is a higher power you can turn to for help in finding a solution and in the healing process. The program involves meetings which you attend when you feel the need to share what you are going through or listen to others who are experiencing the same things.
What to Expect at Meetings
There are four different types of CoDA meetings. Each one serves a specific purpose; you will know what type of meeting is coming up and can choose to attend or not, based on your preferences. These types include:
#23.5 Codependency is defined as a psychological condition or a relationship in which a person is controlled or manipulated by another who is affected with a pathological condition (typically narcissism or drug addiction); and in broader terms, it refers to the dependence on the needs of, or control by, another.[1] It also often involves placing a lower priority on one's own needs, while being excessively preoccupied with the needs of others.[2] Codependency can occur in any type of relationship, including family, work, friendship, and also romantic, peer or community relationships.[2] Codependency may also be characterized by denial, low self-esteem, excessive compliance, or control patterns.[2] Narcissists are considered to be natural magnets for the codependent.
