The Codependency Recovery Blueprint: From People-Pleasing, Low Self-Esteem & Intimacy Issues of a Codependent to Emotional Intelligence, Self-Confidence & Self-Caring of an Independent
Have you lost sight of who you are as an individual? If you find yourself questioning the healthiness of your relationships and struggle to stand up for what you want, you're not alone.
Codependent behaviors are some of the most difficult relationship patterns to identify, yet it's rarely discussed and often considered another form of "clinginess."
This definition ignores the feelings of guilt and shame that arise from the best of intentions -- it does nothing to recognize that even the best intentions can hurt.
As you put yourself on the line for the people you love, it can be difficult to tell when the boundaries between you and them have blurred to the point of toxicity.
After all, you're motivated by wanting the best for others, even if it means you have to put aside your own values and opinions to do so.
However, when you come to rely on outside factors for validation and a sense of identity, these "do good" habits can do more harm than good.
You may suddenly feel obligated to stay in a constricting relationship that turns you into a victim and limits your capacity for intimacy. It can feel as though you have no one to turn to because everybody relies on you.
That doesn't mean your life has to stay that way.
Codependency may be running your life, but you are the one in the driver's seat. In fact, you've already taken the first step by realizing you need to change the path you're on.
Don Barlow knows firsthand the transformational effects of recovering from codependency and has compiled the knowledge he gained over the years so others can experience the same freedom.

Look inward and build yourself up
Being codependent means over sacrificing yourself for others. You will never get out of it what you put into it which only leads to you feeling taken advantage of, distrustful, and full of pain. Seek out support groups to bring you out of the darkness and get you on the right track again.

Informative
Wow, there are so many variations of co dependency. I was surprised to discover even those abusive types have a dependency on using codependent people. Makes the reader wonder who the weaker party is. Good book.

This was nicely written and insightful. Not too heavy with just the right amount of hard facts and research. Great for fans of Brene Brown.
