Rate this book
Are you tired of feeling controlled or manipulated in your relationships? Are you ready to break free from the cycle of codependency and build a healthy, independent life? Do you feel like you've lost sight of your own needs and desires? Do you put up with unhealthy relationships because you fear being alone or abandoned?
Recovery from codependency is not only possible but also liberating. You can kick this codependency habit and put an end to the unhealthy cycle.

What is codependency? — and is it really all that bad? This book aims to serve as an introduction to codependency to help readers learn more about what codependency is, how it manifests in relationships, and what you can do to help yourself or others dealing with codependent relationships. Codependency is not only limited to emotionally intimate relationships. It can affect a spouse, a parent, a friend, a sibling, or a coworker of a person struggling with alcohol or drug dependence.

When you are codependent, you are over-focused on others and aren’t happy unless they are happy. This leads to you being dependent on them for emotional validation and support. Eventually, you become exhausted, resentful, and angry about the situation. The world needs giving, loving, and compassionate people. However, you also deserve to experience the same in return. The cycle of receiving and giving is sometimes difficult for people who are codependents because they’re often in one-sided relationships. And when you continue to enable this, despite your best intentions, it deprives the person you’re sheltering of the lessons they need to learn and grow.Codependency is not a life sentence. It’s simply a behavior pattern you can break with information, practice, and guidance.
"Breaking Free from Codependency" is the book you need to take control of your life and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. In this book, you'll learn how to identify and address codependent behaviors, set healthy boundaries, and build self-esteem. With practical advice and personal anecdotes, "Breaking Free from Codependency" offers a roadmap for building the life you want.

This book will reveal the underlying reasons you struggle with overgiving and overdoing so you can pour your energy into creating your best life. It will help you uncover what you actually want and help you re-write the manual on how you treat yourself. You’ll start to take small steps to build real self-awareness, self-knowledge, and self-love so you can stop looking to others and what you do for them to fulfill you.This book will help Understand what codependency is and understand its rootsLearn practices and personal skills needed to overcome codependenceRecognize when a relationship is toxic (abusive, narcissistic, and codependent)Discover unhealthy relationship patterns and how to overcome themSet strong boundariesLearn how to break the cycle of codependency and begin the recovery process
As we heal from codependency, we learn to understand that we cannot control what other people think about us. We also learn to understand the value of appreciating our feelings. For far too long, we have been suppressing, denying, minimizing, or devaluing what we think, feel, need, want, and believe.
