Hi Everyone!
I am Dr. Sophia, and I am excited to share with you about the Codependency, Grief, and Relationships meeting that I chair every Wednesday at noon EST.
I love the content and the vibe of this meeting. We have so many wonderful and different kinds of people attend this meeting bringing all kinds of great questions and tough issues to share and discuss. The open discussion format of this meeting is inviting to everyone, and we really get into topics deeply when we have the time.
Modern Codependency © is the obsessive focus outside of ourselves towards other people, places, or things; and when we obsessively focus on others, we are typically seeking validation and affirmation from outside sources, thus abandoning ourselves and not meeting our own needs. (Caudle 2022). Codependency affects how we show up and don’t show up in relationships. We all have codependent tendencies in some way, and once we know our selves in this framework, we can truly begin to heal.
Grief is our other big topic, and grief is also universal for us all.
We all deal with death and dying, so this can be discussed.
We also all experience Ambiguous Grief© which is the grief we feel when we lose someone who is still living, or when we are aware of something we never had, such as a safe childhood, etc.
Original Grief is also universal. Original Grief is our attachment wounding feelings that coincide with the feelings in the grief neural pathway: fear, loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and depression.
As you can see we discuss deep stuff in this meeting, and the content is the big leagues of recovery, for ALL People who wants to heal from Life, not only addictions.
We welcome YOU! So, please join us us!!!
Warmly,
Dr. Sophia Caudle:)

wow, the ambiguous grief… i seem to resonate with THAT one! I have much work to do!
The link to meeting not working… is this a weekly meeting?
I’m in recovery through 12 step rooms. But recently my husband of 56 yrs died I’m interested in grief group please.
At the end of this month, I will be sober 21 years but my mental stability is questionable. I have been under psychiatric care my whole recovery been on medication’s for it too The trauma that I’ve experienced in my life seems like it’s never gonna go away, but then I reach out to God and it seems like He embraces my spirit and He gives me peace when there seems to be no peace. He gives me joy when there seems to be no joy and He gives me hope when there seems to be no hope. I hope I can be some kind of hope for the people in this group my experience alone for the last 21 years, going through sexual abuse, underground hiding and a custody battle from hell and everything during my sobriety and not picking up a drink or drug I believe is a great example to the new ones trying to get sober.
