Often we are a part of toxic relationships without realizing it. It holds us back, blinds us, and keeps us from growing. Instead of holding our partner accountable, we insist, "I need to look after him." But, at what cost? In this seminal work Codependent No More breaks down, in a most lucid fashion, the cause and effect of being in a codependent relationship, and how to overcome it.
Leveraging on the latest scientific and psychological research and longitudinal case studies, the book carefully analyzes how a relationship could degenerate into codependency, what exacerbates it, and what are some of its devastating effects. With a sympathetic and compassionate word Codependent No More provides a platform through which we can come to terms with our past, realize the signs of codependency in our relationships, and overcome the lies that we tell ourselves daily.
Never before has the self-perpetuating aspect of codependency been more toxic, and now more than ever we need to cultivate self-worth, acceptance, and love for ourselves. In a life that constitutes relationships that see self-denial, despair, fear, hopelessness, guilt, and depression as a way of life, we need to be reminded of a life beyond the noxious environment we find ourselves in.
By clearly defining what separates a healthy relationship from a toxic one, Codependent No More helps us to look beyond our biases and our blind spots and aspire to be with people that can lift us, rather than bring us down, brings the devil out from under the carpet and shines a light on it so we can talk about the things that we've been too fearful of acknowledging.
Through Codependent No More you will embark on a journey of self-realization and awareness. It will open you up to change, to positivity, and in the process, the deadwood will fall behind. There is a life before reading Codependent No More, and one after it. This is even truer for those who live in a codependent relationship without knowing it. This guide, with its humanistic philosophy and deep psychological insights, is an invitation to growth and change. It is up to each of us to read this fragment of truth and understanding that is ready to become the cornerstone of every healthy and prosperous relationship.
Inside the book you will also find a free guide, with 10 smart tips.
