ACA 2008 Convention Recordings

Follow this link to the following speakers:

Dr. Lucia C.
“Reparenting Our Selves:
Renegotiating with the Inner
Critical Parent ”

Self-acceptance gained through Inner Family work relieves us from the burden of perfectionism and the need to rescue and protect the Inner Child in others. Exercises include: Getting in Touch with Feelings, Meet Your Critical Parent, and Embracing Your Inner Brat.

 Don C.
“Completing the Circle
in the Cycle of Violence”
Traumatized children are pushed to the point of exhaustion and collapse as part of the family’s “bop ‘til you drop” scenario. The workshop will examine the obvious and hidden ways this can happen. We will explore how The 12 Steps can be used to uncover and reverse this process of “group intoxication” that we internalized as children and keep acting out as adults.
Lesley R.
“ACA in the Workplace”
Join Lesley as she expands on how our ACA Characteristics affect us in the workplace. The workshop allows us to discuss our common experiences and help each other reduce the chaos that we can bring to our work lives.
Mary Cook
Mary has over 31 years of clinical practice treating a broad range of addiction and psychological problems. She taught at Cal State Dominguez Hills with 29 years as Professor in their Alcohol & Drug Counseling Certification Program. She taught psychology and addiction studies at UC Irvine & LA Harbor College.
Dr. Lucia C.
“Getting Off the Teeter Totter “
Practicing self-care through Inner Family work removes expectations from others to be the loving and protective parents we never had. We will identify power imbalances in current relationships and learn how to get off the teeter totter in which one person assumes a parental role and the other a child role.
Mimi & Roy
“Bullies & Boundaries”
Mimi and Roy shared their experience, strength and hope at a Portland ACA Intergroup event entitled “Bullies and Boundaries”. Check out the link to the audio here. 
These ACA members also published a booklet about “Setting Boundaries”. This is not conference-approved ACA literature. It is the experience of a couple of ACA members which many local members have found helpful in their ACA journey. Check it out for purchase on amazon here.

  1. Hi,

    I’m trying to access the Speaker Tape Line. I call the number, enter the access code, yet I get three beeps and am disconnected. Is the Tape Line now offline or is there another issue. Thank you.

    • It does appear to not be working, for me either. The most recent recording is from five years ago, it appears that this has not been updated since.

  6. Hi Marilyn, thanks for your inquiry. I would contact the World Service Organization at adultchildren.org about this. I just took this recording from their site, so I don’t have any additional information. Good luck on your search!

  7. Hey Thank you so much for your service of making these recordings available. Very helpful. Is there any way I can buy a copy of Don C.’s 2008 talk Cycle of Violence? I am hearing impaired and miss many words. A transcript would even be better. Any way to get either of these? Please let me know. I realy feel like my program would be helped by getting this information more clearly. Thanks Please text or marilynp2aden@gmail.com
