My response:
Professor: Class: Ways to Identify Without Offending
Our goal is not to put our clients on the defensive but rather to help them to identify things that are no longer working and find new ways to cope. Class, can you think of a way of explaining the roles that does not offend?
My response
Peer review: Week 3 DQ#1:
Peer:
Families who are seeking healing from addiction, are often dealing with a variety of issues. Labels provide identity and solutions in a simplistic form. As a mother of an alcoholic, for example, latches on the concept of codependency, she may begin to see herself in that role and read, study, and learn all that she can about codependency. She may then begin to set boundaries, be assertive, gain strength by talking to others in a support group and so forth. This label may give a direction and be a comfort, naming the problem and providing solutions. The risk here is that it can also define an individual. It is not uncommon, among the recovery community, to hear the statement “I am codependent”. This is not the language that should describe identity. A separation needs to be clear that codependency is a behavior not a core principle. This may be true of the other two terms, family survival roles and Adult children of alcoholics. While defining behaviors, it is important not to define people with these terms.

Good morning Laura
