PRLog -- Neither the National Institute of Health nor the National Institute for Mental Health track separate statistics for “co-dependency,”
yet everyone knows someone who drains the energy of others, manipulates as a way of life, and who is co-dependent in painful and dysfunctional ways. Often, such an individual is our own self. Most people do not know when manipulation begins, how to recognize co-dependency in relationships, and most especially, what to do about ending co-dependency in their own lives. David Mariant, whose work to conquer co-dependence is pivotal in managing his struggle with Bipolar Disorder, and Ilene Dillon, M.S.W., longtime psychotherapist whose personal problems led her to create a system for understanding and quelling co-dependence in her personal and professional life, talk together about “The Nitty-Gritty of Co-dependence”
on Full Power Living (www.emotionalpro.com and iTunes) on July 8, 2010 at 9 a.m. PT.
Since he was first diagnosed with bipolar and after his own brush with death, David Mariant (www.survivingbipolar.com)
has become a passionate student of bipolar disorder. If you are interested in the truth about bipolar disorder and how to live with its hidden danger, then his unique presentation (Surviving Bipolar's Fatal Grip) of a first-hand account is for you. David Mariant wants to equip bipolar sufferers and their families with awareness and tools to help them survive and thrive. David claims that learning to deal with co-dependent behaviors and relationships is key to managing his issues with Bipolar Disorder.
Ilene Dillon, M.S.W., (www.emotionalpro.com)
grew up in a highly dysfunctional family. Married as a teen, Ilene began life in a relationship that was highly co-dependent. And it was all his fault, wasn’t it? When the marriage broke up and she started investigating what she could do to avoid future co-dependency, she learned the “First Law of Manipulation”:
It takes one to know one! After 40 years as a psychotherapist, public speaker, seminar leader, coach, consultant, author and radio host, Ilene presents personal material about what she has learned that has allowed her to eliminate almost all co-dependence from her life! Ilene is author of a CD Minicourse entitled “Co-Dependence:
The Bottom Line,” and of Bouncing Back from Energy-Sapping:
Protecting Yourself from Undesirable Energy Loss.
