Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself
$12.99
A cultural phenomenon that has helped heal millions of readers, this modern classic holds the key to understanding codependency and unlocking its hold on your life. Melody Beattie's compassionate and insightful look into codependency - the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping another - has helped to guide millions of readers towards the understanding that they are powerless to change anyone but themselves and that caring for the self is where healing begins. Is someone else's problem your problem? If, like so many others, you've lost sight of your own life in the drama of tending to a loved one's self-destructive behaviour, you may be codependent - and you may find yourself in this book.
With personal reflections, exercises, and instructive stories drawn from Beattie's own life and the lives of those she's counseled, Codependent No More helps you break old patterns and maintain healthy boundaries, offering a clear and achievable path to healing, hope, freedom and happiness.This revised edition includes an all-new chapter on trauma and anxiety - subjects Beattie has long felt need to be addressed within the context of codependency - making it even more relevant today than it was when it first entered the international conversation over thirty-five years ago.
