About this listen

Revised and updated with over 600,000 copies sold.

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. Recovery from codependence, therefore, involves clearing up the toxic emotions left over from these painful childhood experiences.

I agree about the narrator, hard to listen to, very jarring speaking style. Hard to navigate the audiobook because the chapters have no title. How is that helpful especially in an audio book that we can open it and look inside.

Really good

The book was really interesting but the choice for the narrattor was wrong. It bothered me the whole time. Should have chosen a female at least. A soft voice would also have been preferable.

Good book but wrong narrator

This books intention is to provide emotional healing...the content is good, the narration is so unfeeling and robotic..it really takes away from its essence. I regret buying this book on audio.

Disappointed by narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Wayyyy too much time going into specific details about all the potential permutations and combinations of sexual abuse and incest that can happen, with a weird amount of detail that is completely unhelpful and unnecessarily disturbing.

Almost no instructions for recovery?
