Publisher's summary

You are not cursed, you are only codependent.

There are many people who don't know the difference between being in a healthy relationship and being in one that is codependent. You have simply gone from one unsatisfactory situation to the next without being able to control the situation. This audiobook delves into why people feel this inadequacy and depend upon relationships that are at best unsatisfactory, and at worst positively abusive. You don't need to be hit on a regular basis to be abused. However, when you let someone else dictate the course of your life, based upon their own unrealistic viewpoint, you may as well package your life into a box and give it away. Codependent people do that. When you listen through this audiobook, you will find solutions.

Here is a preview of what you'll find:

• Assessment test - codependency
• Understand: what is codependency?
• Evaluating self
• Recapturing your small ambitions
• Codependency in the workplace
• Setting yourself free
• Volunteerism
• Learning to say no
• Caregiving versus caretaking

• Codependency in the workplace

I used to think I am a broken and that I don’t have friends whom I can trust and really cares about me the way I care about them. I was most trusting before. This is an eye-opener on how I dealt with people and relationships. This helps me focus more on me.
