Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families
Individual
Groups For Women and Men
Children raised in dysfunctional family
environments tend to feel isolated and uneasy with others –
particularly those in positions of authority. They often become
people pleasers. They often feel abandoned. They often have low
grade anxiety when relating to others, because they are afraid that
the unpredictable will happen.
These people have a strong sense of
responsibility. They believe that they have to rescue and control
others. They often have a codependent mentality (see description of
codependent). They develop strong feelings of guilt and shame when they
are not able to meet the responsibilities that they perceive they must
meet. These people tend to gravitate toward the type of
relationships that existed in their dysfunctional families. They need
outside help to solve this problem.
The kind of help required is spiritual and is
offered by Celebrate Recovery. It starts with turning one’s life and
will over to the care and control of Jesus Christ. The adult child of a
dysfunctional family acknowledges they have a problem, and they have not
been able to put it under control. They recognize that Jesus Christ is
their loving Higher Power, and He will provide all the resources needed
to overcome their issues.
The adult child of a dysfunctional family follows
up by attending weekly Celebrate Recovery meetings. In these meetings
they learn how to identify the underlying causes of their issues. They
also learn how to appropriate God’s power in eliminating them. They
learn how to forgive those who have hurt them and to make amends to all
the people they have hurt. They learn how to change their focus
from themselves to others. The result is lasting freedom and permanent
victory.
Over the years many people have gone through the Celebrate
Recovery program with incredible results. Celebrate Recovery has a
success rate much higher than conventional recovery programs. Why not
give it a try?
