Codependency: Be Codependent No More

by Paul Sharp

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 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.

Useful information

This book will help you recognize whether you or someone you care about is in a codependent relationship. This book does a good job looking at characteristics of people and relationships, and speaks in plain language that is easy to understand. The author is very clear that this is not a magic wand to provide an instant fix. Instead it is a helpful guide to get you to begin building better relationships and boundaries. Great info.

A short read but a good one. Codependency is one of those things people have tried to get in my brain that I needed on some level with regards to things in my life. People tend to look at people through their lens but project what you think what you need from their own personal experiences. This is not true in a lot of cases. So my advice to people is to get used to be alone once in a while. This book sums it up nicely.

Are you co dependent?

This book helps define codependency and possibly it's cause. It helps you to overcome the issue and turn your life around. It includes a 21 day plan to teach you how to get over your issue and turn your life around for good. I recommend this book to anyone who thinks they may have an issue with codependent and how to beat it.

Absolutely fantastic book full of real life examples, solid information, and great ways to understand the co-dependent mind. I found myself realizing that I do still have some work to do on certain relationships and that it all starts with reframing my own thoughts and mind.

Interesting

Good information on codependency and what caused it. It was interesting about reading about how codependency is affected by things like anxiety and narcissism.
