This book is about codependent recovery.

Codependency can leave you feeling unloved, ignored, and unappreciated. You might find yourself having a hard time making decisions for yourself.

Codependent No More speaks to a demographic who was largely ignored before this book was published, and there is little doubt that Melody Beattie's listeners find incredible value in her words. This SUMOREADS Summary & Analysis offers supplementary material to Codependent No More to help you distill the key takeaways, review the book's content, and further understand the writing style and overall themes from an editorial perspective.

When you are codependent, you are unconscious. You do not know that emotional neglect has caused your brain to believe life is a threatening reality. Instead of believing you are worthy of love, you feel unworthy of love. You do not make choices because they might bring you joy. You play it small, try not to rock the boat, people-please, and focus on what you do not want to happen versus what you would like to happen.

You can say no. You can stop people-pleasing and start setting boundaries. You can ask for what you need. You can love and be loved - without sacrifice - by breaking the codependency cycle. The Codependency Recovery Plan empowers you to have healthy, happy interdependent relationships. This actionable five-step program is designed to help you get in touch with yourself, assert boundaries, and communicate confidently. You’ll be free to nurture true intimacy.

My Road Beyond the Codependent Divorce is written to encourage and support those of us who feel the need to move out of dysfunctional marriages and family relationships.

Are you struggling to gain your independence? Are past traumas keeping you from evolving into the person you long to be? The truth is that human nature encourages us to seek out others. This has proven to be one of mankind's greatest triumphs, but when we start to rely on people to fix our problems for us, we start to fall into a codependent connection and stop mastering ourselves. Even if you have struggled for years to let go of something or someone you can start to move forward today. You can become a better you.

Written in plain English and packed with sensitive, authoritative information, Codependency for Dummies, 2nd Edition describes the history, symptoms, causes, and relationship dynamics of codependency. The majority of the book is devoted to healing and lays out a clear plan for recovery with exercises, practical advice, and daily reminders to help you know, honor, protect, and express yourself, with new chapters on working the 12 Steps to recover from codependency and how therapists/coaches/nurses are affected by codependency.

Pia Mellody creates a framework for identifying codependent thinking, emotions and behaviour and provides an effective approach to recovery. Mellody sets forth five primary adult symptoms of this crippling condition, then traces their origin to emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical and sexual abuses that occur in childhood. Central to Mellody's approach is the concept that the codependent adult's injured inner child needs healing.

Like most psychiatric concepts, codependency issues, symptoms, and effects are complicated. When you have a codependent personality disorder, you tend to have low self-esteem and turn to anything outside of yourself for comfort, such as alcohol, drugs, relationships, or compulsive behaviors. This can take a toll on your life, leaving you in a state of constant fear of abandonment, a compelling need to please and control others, and obsession with your partner. However, recovering from codependency is possible!

Whether you are in a dating relationship, friendship, or marriage, many people ask themselves how things got so off-track and why they can't communicate with each other anymore. They wonder what they're doing wrong and why they keep making bad choices and ignoring red flags. Trying to fix these problems using outdated communication tools rarely works, so many give up, feeling lost, defeated and resentful. This audiobook helps you see how your unresolved inner child wounding keeps showing up, attracting, and meshing with another’s codependent parts in a wounded dance.
