Thank you for writing this concise book!
I especially appreciated your assertion that I am a human being with codependent traits not a "codependent person!" I have been in relationship with an undiagnosed high functioning autistic person for decades. I have developed many dysfunctional traits in order to win
validation, connection etc from someone who will never provide it. I think you will find an untapped audience with that demographic, particularly women. Anyway, it has greatly helped me thank you!

As someone who often reads self-help books, there were of course moments of repetitiveness. However, the book is short, straight to the point and insightful regardless of the type of relationship you may be seeking support with. As a people pleaser and a friend to many like me, it was worth the read for sure.
Includes practical sections for each chapter that some might find really appealing for journaling!

Short But Effective Read
I'd definitely recommend this book for people pleasers like myself. It's an eye opening read , and I learned about the many ways I've went wrong in my intimate and bonding image relationships.

I think I got the wrong book via Amazon, but gave it a go. It did not really speak to me at all and had terrible grammar. I don’t think this is quite what I was looking for.
