Codependency is a complex condition that is often not fully understood or accurately diagnosed. It arises from unhealthy dynamics in relationships and can manifest in a variety of ways, such as excessive neediness, self-sacrifice, clinging, obsessiveness, control issues, avoidance of accountability, and emotional manipulation. The Codependency Recovery Workbook offers readers a comprehensive guide to understanding, healing, and ultimately breaking free from the negative patterns associated with codependency and learning to love themselves.
The book starts by familiarizing readers with the various forms of codependency that can occur in relationships. It clearly defines the signs of codependent behavior and explains what constitutes a codependent relationship. In chapter two, readers learn how to identify these patterns and explore ways to exit unhealthy relationships.
