Pia Mellody - Codependence and it's symptoms

Pia Mellody of The Meadows Treatment Center in Wickenburg Arizona discusses Codependency during a seminar sponsored by The Meadows. She offers an insightful definition that extends beyond dependency issues and addresses childhood relational trauma. The Meadows conducts workshops and conferences for treatment professionals, alumni, and interested members of the community. This, as well as other clips from these workshops, are offered to the public as an educational tool to improve the quality of care for all people.
Pia is widely known as one of the preeminent authorities in the fields of addiction and relationships. Her work on codependence, boundaries, and the effects of childhood trauma on emotional development has profoundly influenced the treatment of addictions and the issues of forming and maintaining relationships. She is the author of several influential books, including "Facing Codependence," "Facing Love Addiction" and her latest work, "The Intimacy Factor."
The Meadows Treatment program strives to assist others to achieve health and healing from the effects of trauma and addiction. The holistic methods and tools used at The Meadows are designed to help each individual discover the underlying issues that are contributing to their current behavior. The Meadows staff and Senior Fellows have made these videos available to the larger community in hopes that you will find something of value to bring you knowledge, courage, healing, and hope.

Thank you Pia for your frankness. As a codependent, this what I need; the truth. Once you accept this, it’s so welcome. Now I can start learning put into practice what I am learning. It’s difficult but becomes more and more helpful in my life. Thank you again.

She seems bored/almost irritated with her audience as though they should 'get' what she's talking about based on the list showing on the screen.

[@rolandberendonck3900]

Do you know if she is really the best on the field of codependency?

[@anaguerrerosholisticwellbe2788]

After watching only the first minute, I thought "gosh, is she bored of herself?!" Crossed her arms, looks down a lot and above her spectacles, she slurs her words too as in she can't be bothered talking to the audience. It might be her style or accent but if you are a public speaker, you have to work on your mannerism or people switch off like I've done. I hope she's a better writer!

@@anaguerrerosholisticwellbe2788 This looks like a clip from a professional training. Like they are all "hunkered down" for the duration. lol. If you have done these types of things, you know what i mean. This is not a speech to the public or a seminar for consumers. She is not "selling" anything.

[@anaguerrerosholisticwellbe2788]

@@carolguidi2139 that's a fair point. Still, I was lucky to have more engaging tutors! I think I'd have died in her classroom
