Synopsis

The groundbreaking bestseller on codependence—with more 750,000 copies sold—break the cycle, heal from past trauma, form fulfilling relationships, save your self-worth, and develop lasting, healthy habits and behavioral patterns

In Facing Codependence, Pia Mellody, internationally renowned expert on codependence and addiction recovery, decodes and identifies codependent thinking, emotions, and behavior and provides a proven roadmap to recovery.

For anyone who has been in a toxic relationship, engages in self-sabotaging behaviors themselves, or simply wants to be a better partner, and person, Facing Codependence dives into the core of human behavior and allows readers to:

·      End toxic patterns, including love addiction, narcissism, alcoholism, and substance abuse

·      Heal from dysfunctional family dynamics and end the cycle of abuse once and for all

·      Ditch anxious and avoidant attachment to form stable and secure relationships

·      Rediscover your sense of purpose, self-worth, and reclaim your identity and independence

Mellody simultaneously sets forth five primary adult symptoms of this crippling condition, then traces their origin to emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and sexual abuses that occur in childhood. Central to Mellody's approach is the concept that the codependent adult's injured inner child needs healing. Recovery from codependence, therefore, involves clearing up the toxic emotions left over from these painful childhood experiences. Unlearning behavioral patterns and easing the grip of trauma takes time and effort, but right here, right now, is where you start.
