Publisher's summary

This is an unabridged recording of a joyously inspirational book. Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls has been called "one of the truly transformational works of our time." Author Robert Burney has been referred to as "a metaphysical Stephen Hawking" - and his work has been compared to John Bradshaw's "except much more spiritual" and described as "taking inner child healing to a new level."

In Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls he combines Twelve Step recovery principles, ancient (and New Age) metaphysical truth, and Native American spirituality with quantum physics and molecular biology in sharing a perspective on the human experience that can lead to a life-changing Spiritual Awakening by reminding you of who you truly are, and why you are here ina human body at this very special time in human history.

The book I was waiting for

This book is as close to perfection as possible. I've listened to book after book on shame, self-improvement, and discovering worthiness. Welcome to my mid-life crisis! This book really spoke to me and gave me a self-awareness I've never experienced before. Thank you for this book and the perfect narration.

Wait, it gets better

What made the experience of listening to Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls the most enjoyable?

This was an interesting book, but it really did take time to catch the listeners interest. From my perspective, that is.
There are gems is you can just wade through the first 2 chapters, I think it was, then it pays dividends

Life Changing Book

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

This is a very insightful, well-written book. The wisdom Robert Burney imparts is life changing. I love how he describes the way the events of our childhood lead to co-dependence and what we need to do to heal. I also love how he discusses viewing the difficulties of life from a spiritual perspective. I highly recommend this book for anyone who struggles with addiction in any form, or continues to attract the same type of toxic relationships, or feels overall they are unworthy of anything or anyone that is good.

Hard to follow

This book was hard to follow. At times he spoke as if he was coming from a spiritual viewpoint, but then flipped to an atheist point of view. The book does make some good points, but was unclear to me on his stance. So his message was lost to me.

Good book to start with

As a Christian I understand why the Author doesn't believe that in God's Word, and it's okay, at one point I didn't either. I just loved the insight, and you have to overlook the rest. Good book, and narrated very well, easy to listen to.

Amazing and life changing

This book = Codependency simplified and healed! Seriously if you’ve been struggling to understand why you’re always upset at life and there’s always something to worry about, why you can’t seem to be happy even though you keep getting what you want, then read this book, might give you a new perspective and save the one life you have before it’s too late!

Nonsense!

Could not finish listening to it. Pure Nonsense! Just some ramblings stating that ALL Humans are perfect in their own ways NO. Humans are not perfect. Some Bad Humans are a cancer to society. One of the worst books I have ever read in my life.

MIND BLOWINGLY AMAZING!

THANK YOU Robert for this very refreshing, insightful and incredible viewpoint of codependency! I have been dealing with so many “symptoms” of codependency for years, had dappled in reading about it but really until a recent therapy session and me finding this book did I REALLY get it!

I think this is such a refreshing & much more enlightened view of this issue and gives so much grace amd light to it - it makes it a path of healing rather than something I have to get over/fix.

I had been feeling the ancient wounds of the Wounded Healer and thought there had to be a connection with codependency with the ancestral ties and current issues and within the first few minutes Robert covered it! I felt like he was reading my mind! I had a great sense of clarity & reassurance that I was on to something important! Thank you again! I’d suggest this to anyone struggling with this issue for a fresh take and viewpoint on it!

Really good insight

The book had some great points related to the human reaction to shame, guilt, fear, and codependency. When he addresses the religious perspectives, it is more opinion based than fact based. Regardless of this opinion, the point was well taken.
