A free six-week class · Las Vegas
Handle life as it comes, instead of being handled by it.
The Inner Journey walks through the five core symptoms from Facing Codependence by Pia Mellody. Each week has an hour of teaching and an hour in small groups.
Is this for me?
For anyone who wants healthier relationships, starting with the one inside.
You often feel responsible for other people's feelings, or let their moods decide yours.
Saying no is hard, or you say yes and resent it later.
You swing between too much and too little: work, spending, emotion, control.
Your sense of worth rises and falls with how others treat you.
You simply want tools for living with more peace. No diagnosis needed.
What an evening looks like
We walk through the week's topic together, with a handout to take home.
Groups of a few people talk it through and practice. Share as much or as little as you like.

Questions
Before you come
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no cost for the class, the handouts or the audio.
Do I need to read the book first?
No. Everything is taught in class. The book list is there if you want to go deeper.
Will I have to share in front of people?
Only if you want to. Small groups are a place to listen as much as to talk.
Is this therapy?
No. It's a class with peer small groups. It works well alongside counseling but doesn't replace it.
What if I miss a week?
Each class has its handout and audio recording on this site, so you can catch up and come back the next week.
