Publisher's Synopsis
Are you the victim of a codependent relationship? Have you already desperately tried to find a way out, without success?
There are millions of people who constantly sacrifice their own needs in favor of someone else's, take on other people's responsibilities, and work to ensure everyone else's happiness but their own. They push aside their own goals, dreams, and habits.
In these relationships, manipulation, guilt and resentment take the place of healthy, balanced affection. Codependent partners are not necessarily together because they want to be, they are because they have to be, because they don't know how to live otherwise.
The author covers:
- How codependency develops and what its characteristics are
- Warning signals that your relationship is becoming codependent
- Narcissism and codependency: the unholy union
- The hidden connection between substance abuse and codependency
- The path to detachment and the healing power of self-awareness
- Building boundaries
- How to stop attracting toxic people
- Overcoming jealousy and anxiety in relationships
- Cultivating mindfulness
- The 21-day program to rewrite your story
- Embracing healthy relationships
The relationships we are in can never be better than the relationships we have with ourselves. When you remove need, fear, obsession and desperation, you open up the way for love and affection just for its own sake.
