Codependency Explained offers a clear path to understanding and overcoming unhealthy relationship patterns. The book explores how codependency, often rooted in childhood experiences and dysfunctional family relationships, leads to sacrificing personal needs for others. Did you know codependency was initially studied in families dealing with addiction, but now applies to various relationship dynamics? This book uniquely guides readers in identifying codependent behaviors, understanding their origins, and implementing recovery strategies.
The book progresses from defining codependency and differentiating it from healthy helping to exploring its roots in family systems. It then provides practical tools for recovery, such as setting boundaries and practicing self-care. A key focus is on building healthy, interdependent relationships where mutual support doesn't sacrifice individual well-being.
By using psychological research, case studies, and exercises, Codependency Explained empowers readers to break free from negative relationship patterns, cultivate healthier communication, and enhance self-worth.
