Treating traditional core issues of Adult Children of Alcoholics
(ACoA), although effective, may not be enough. Typically, the ACoA client
will seek counseling for the first time once they have reached a crisis
state in a relationship--when their lives have become so out-of-control

Author: Dr. Julio Reyna
Excerpts
from the research study: ----When I feel stress is when she accuses
me of being poor, and tells me that she has money. She puts a lot
of pressure on me to make more money, and it is when I feel tension...
----She does not respect me. When I have asked her to please respect

is to laugh at me. And she tells me that I am a piece of garbage,
a dog, and that for that reason she cannot respect me, that I do
not deserve her respect...PDF FILE
