Counter-dependency: the Flight From Intimacy

by Janae B. Weinhold, Barry K. Weinhold, Richard Shulman (Illustrator)

This book reveals counter-dependency as the major barrier in creating intimate relationships. People with counter-dependent behaviors appear strong, secure, and successful on the outside, while on the inside they are weak, fearful, insecure, and needy. They function well in the world of business but are often failures in the world of intimate relationships. Being in a relationship with this kind of person can be extremely frustrating and even dangerous. The Flight From Intimacy shows you how to recognize and deal with these people. If you recognize yourself in the list above, this book will help you know how to change. It also teaches you how to use your committed relationships to heal your wounds from childhood. The book provides you with proven ways to use your conflicts as opportunities for creating intimate, partnership relationships. Do you know someone who... Has trouble being close to others? Acts self-centered and egotistical? Never asks for help, even when needed? Has to look good at all times? Works long hours but never gets finished? Expects perfection in self and others? Is seldom vulnerable or weak? Has difficulty relaxing? This audio edition also features an introduction and narration by well known Business Consultant Max Bolka and interlude music by Richard Shulman (known for his work on the John Bradshaw 'Homecoming' PBS soundtrack) on a 2-Disc CD set.
