Awakening from the Nightmares of Codependency: Learn to love yourself enough to fight for better relationships,end years of codependency, and heal from the effects of gaslighting

by Elisabeth Cloud

Do you have difficulty maintaining healthy relationships? Do you either become too clingy or shut down emotionally, despite an honest desire to establish loving, healthy connections with people? Often, these issues are a sign of co-dependency—an emotional state in which you generate love and affection from fears of abandonment or rejection, perhaps due to childhood neglect. Besides derailing your ability to create healthy relationships, another risk associated with co-dependency is that you may find yourself in a situation where someone significant to you gains too much control. With that control and the wrong intentions, that person may plant seeds of uncertainty in your mind, causing you to question your own memory, recognition, or rational soundness. This manipulation technique, known as “gaslighting,” involves abusers who utilize refusal, confusion, inconsistency, and deceit in an effort to destabilize their victim or victims and delegitimize their convictions. If either or both of these situations apply to you, keep reading… Co-dependency is difficult to overcome; in its grip, your own ego holds you hostage and keeps you from behaving with authenticity and achieving self-actualization. The relationships forged under its influence can be problematic, at best. The first book in this bundle equips you with a step-by-step approach to recover from the state of co-dependency. Gaslighting, as a type of psychological abuse, gradually consumes your capacity to make decisions. Basically, gaslighters redirect the blame for their own negative words and deeds onto you, causing you to question yourself and sometimes even your own sanity. Regularly embraced by psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists, gaslighting gradually destroys your self-esteem until you become a shell of your previous self. The second book is a solid resource to help you recognize, end, and recover from gaslighting. Below are some of the most important topics, skills, and emotional recovery tools covered in these Even if you’re not sure whether you have co-dependent tendencies or are a victim of gaslighting, these books may be for you. Learning about these often-related issues is the fastest way to recognizing how they may be impacting your life and hindering your personal progress. These resources are simple, easy to understand, and give you the tools you need to take charge of your own relationships, fulfil your own needs, and reveal your true self! Are you ready?

Eye opening and enlightening

The author starts with what codependency is and how it is harmful and what its roots are. Then the author moves into how to heal yourself. This self-help aspect is so important because not everyone has great mental health coverage, so it is nice to have resources to help yourself. Most of the healing focuses on developing boudaries and building up the self. The second part of the book focuses on identifying when you are being gaslighted or manipulated and how to handle that. I liked that this section was laid out in segements and steps. That made it easy to follow along. Overall, I found the book very informative.

Must read

This is a must read for everyone, even if you're not codependent or in an emotionally abusive relationship. The book gives insight into the behavior from both sides and how to take control and take steps to stop this behavior. It never outright says "leave the gaslighter" but instead employs the need for the person to make their own decision and steps either way. Must read.

Learning not to be codependent!!

I was with someone that was emotionally abusive and a narcissist. This sums up how I have behaved since leaving him finally. I can't believe that my co dependency was due to the relationship ship. Since then I haven't believed that I can do anything on my own. I think that I have to be with someone to succeed or reach my potential, but this books says you're not. That you can do things on your own and end this cycle.

Excellent book

This series is so needed. It defines what being codependent is and what it isn't. It's so easu to fall into a codependent relationship, for some people it's wired into our brains. This book is excellent at helping recognize the signs of codependency and issuing advice for healthy relationships.

Clingy

I am.not an over friendly person, I would actually say that I am.a but anto social. However, people tend to become attached to me with little to no effort on my part. I'm hoping some of the things I learned from these books will help me to detach from some less desirable attached people in my life.

Very Profound

I feel a weight has been lifted. Until reading this book I didn't realize I've been enabling my sister's codependency. Investing and reading this book has helped me find ways to help her help herself. Starting with lending this title

Heal yourself.

Ms. Cloud does a formidable job in this 2 book bundle. Often we blame ourselves for how people treat us, when sometimes it is the other person/people responsible. I recommend this to anyone who needs a confidence booster.

Wonderful

This it's an amazing book to help a person realize whether or not they are codependent, and the problems that is causing in their lives. It comes in many forms and the effects are numerous, but this book will guide you through and help you in the path to self healing.
