Brief Description:
Over 7 Million Copies Sold Revised and Updated, with a New Chapter on
Trauma, a Resources guide, and More The cultural phenomenon that has helped
heal millions of readers, now fully revised and updated, with a new chapter
on trauma, this modern classic holds the key to understanding codependency
and unlocking its hold on your life. As heard on Glennon Doyle’s We Can Do
Hard Things podcast. Melody Beattie’s compassionate and insightful look
into codependency–the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping
another– has helped millions of readers understand that they are powerless
to change anyone but themselves and that caring for the self is where
healing begins. Is someone else’s problem your problem? If, like so many
others, you’ve lost sight of your own life in the drama of tending to a
loved one’s self-destructive behavior, you may be codependent–and you may
find yourself in this book. With instructive life stories drawn from
Beattie’s own life and those she’s counseled, personal reflections and
exercises, Codependent No More helps you to break old patterns, maintain
healthy boundaries, and say no to unhealthy relationships. It offers a
clear and achievable path to freedom and a lifetime of healing, hope, and
happiness. This new edition includes an all-new chapter on trauma and
anxiety–subjects Beattie has long felt necessary to address within the
context of codependency–making this edition the definitive version of a
ground-breaking book that is even more relevant today, as readers confront
new, urgent challenges with greater self-awareness, than it was when it
first entered the national conversation over 35 years ago.
