CODEPENDENT NO MORE How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself

Melody Beattie provides a revised and updated version of her 1986 bestseller on codependency. From the author's own compassionate voice comes a thorough introduction to the concept of codependency, lessons on how to identify codependent characteristics in yourself and others, and tips on how to break free from this destructive cycle. Beattie speaks in an honest, open, and encouraging way while sharing her own struggles with codependency and provides useful questions and exercises that will both comfort and inspire resolve. The real-life examples she shares from both herself and others help listeners understand and relate to codependent relationships and codependent characteristics, while the information shared and practiced will replace destructive behavior with new healthy limits.
