Do you often feel responsible for other people’s emotions or choices?
Do you find it hard to say “no,” even when you’re overwhelmed?
Do you feel like you lose yourself in relationships?

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone — and there is a path toward healing.

Desert Streams invites you to join our Support & Growth Group for women who struggle with codependency, a safe and encouraging space to explore healthier patterns, deepen self-awareness, and experience meaningful growth.

What is Codependency?

Codependency can show up in many ways — people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling responsible for others’ well-being at the expense of your own. Often, it develops in relationships where emotional needs have gone unmet.

As Stephanie A. Tucker writes:

“Codependence can develop or exist wherever relationships (past or present) are love deficient. It also occurs when we look for something from the outside to fill an ‘inner void.’”

The good news is that these patterns can be understood, processed, and changed.

About the Group

This group is designed to help you move from simply surviving relationships to experiencing greater freedom, clarity, and connection.

We will be working through:
The Christian Codependence Recovery Workbook: From Surviving to Significance
by Stephanie A. Tucker

Through guided discussion and personal reflection, you’ll gain practical tools and insights to:

  • Recognize unhealthy patterns
  • Develop stronger boundaries
  • Reconnect with your sense of self
  • Build healthier, more balanced relationships

What to Expect

  • A safe, confidential, and supportive environment
  • Honest conversation with women who understand
  • Gentle, non-judgmental guidance
  • Opportunities for both group discussion and personal reflection

You don’t need to have everything figured out — just a willingness to show up and grow.
