Do you feel incomplete without your partner? Are you putting up with toxic behavior because you don't want to be alone? Most importantly, are you ready to make a change? It's human nature to want to belong. Whether that means being in a romantic relationship, having friends, or being accepted by your family – that need has to be realized. But what happens when that need starts to limit you? Suddenly you find yourself in relationships that are fractured and twisted. Instead of the love, empathy, and security that healthy dynamics provide, you become consumed with anxiety and denial. Behaviors that you would call unacceptable in other relationships are explained away and you begin to compromise your own wellbeing and peace of mind. You've found yourself in a codependent relationship. It can be difficult to break free of this dynamic because you've come to believe you are incomplete without it. You might even believe you need this relationship just to survive. The truth is, you are enough even on your own. Learning to recognize that fact is a process, and Andrei Nedelcu is here to guide you through it with empathy and compassion. No two people's experiences are exactly alike, and he acknowledges the unique challenges you're facing, providing thoughtful and engaging advice. In Facing and Overcoming Codependency , here is just a fraction of what you will And much more. You've already taken the first and most important step in the healing process – you've become aware of your codependent tendencies and decided to do something about them. Perhaps for the first time, you're choosing to put yourself first even though it might be frightening. Don't underestimate the power of this choice. With the skills you'll develop from this book, you'll find yourself armed with the tools you need to rewrite your relationships and take back your life.
It was such a good book. It really forces you to internalize and isolate your codependency traits. The chapter about the attachment type completely blew my mind. This book is a gem. Highly recommend!
