Publisher's summary

Do you find yourself constantly trying to please other people? Are you the go-to person for everyone else’s problems? Do you put up with an unhealthy relationship because you fear being alone or abandoned? Recovery from codependency is not only possible, but also liberating. You can kick this codependency habit and put an end to the unhealthy cycle.

What is codependency? And is it really all that bad? This audiobook aims to serve as an introduction to codependency to help listeners learn more about what codependency is, how it manifests in relationships, and what you can do to help yourself or others dealing with codependent relationships. When you are codependent, you are over-focused on others, and aren’t happy unless they are happy. This leads to you being dependent on them for emotional validation and support.

Eventually, you become exhausted, resentful, and angry about the situation, even though you are the one that allowed it. Learn how to take a perspective that includes yourself, and allows you to let go of the unhealthy reliance on someone else to get your emotional needs met.

Codependency is not a life sentence. It’s simply a behavior pattern you can break with information, practice, and guidance. This audiobook will reveal the underlying reasons you struggle with overgiving and overdoing, so you can pour your energy into creating your best life. It will help you uncover what you actually want, and help you re-write the manual on how you treat yourself. You’ll start to take small steps to build real self-awareness, self-knowledge, and self-love, so you can stop looking to others and what you do for them to fulfill you.

This audiobook will help you:

  • Learn practices and personal skills needed to overcome codependence.
  • ecognize when a relationship is toxic (abusive, narcissistic, and codependent).
  • Discover unhealthy relationship patterns and how to overcome them.
  • Set strong boundaries.
  • Pour your energy into creating your best life!
