Download or read book Facing Codependence written by Pia Mellody and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pia Mellody creates a framework for identifying codependent thinking, emotions and behaviour and provides an effective approach to recovery. Mellody 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.

Download or read book The New Codependency written by Melody Beattie and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Codependency is an owner’s manual to learning to be who you are and gives you the tools necessary to reclaim your life by renouncing unhealthy practices. In Codependent No More, Melody Beattie introduced the world to the term codependency. Now a modern classic, this book established Beattie as a pioneer in self-help literature and endeared her to millions of readers who longed for healthier relationships. Twenty-five years later concepts such as self-care and setting boundaries have become entrenched in mainstream culture. Now Beattie has written a followup volume, The New Codependency, which clears up misconceptions about codependency, identifies how codependent behavior has changed, and provides a new generation with a road map to wellness. The question remains: What is and what is not codependency? Beattie here reminds us that much of codependency is normal behavior. It’s about crossing lines. There are times we do too much, care too much, feel too little, or overly engage. Feeling resentment after giving is not the same as heartfelt generosity. Narcissism and self-love, enabling and nurturing, and controlling and setting boundaries are not interchangeable terms. In The New Codependency, Beattie explores these differences, effectively invoking her own inspiring story and those of others, to empower us to step out of the victim role forever. Codependency, she shows, is not an illness but rather a series of behaviors that once broken down and analyzed can be successfully combated. Each section offers an overview of and a series of activities pertaining to a particular behavior—caretaking, controlling, manipulation, denial, repression, etc.—enabling us to personalize our own step-by-step guide to wellness. These sections, in conjunction with a series of tests allowing us to assess the level of our codependent behavior, demonstrate that while it may not seem possible now, we have the power to take care of ourselves, no matter what we are experiencing.
Download or read book Prodependence written by Robert Weiss and published by Health Communications, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Prodependence," a new psychological term created by Robert Weiss to describe healthy interdependence in the modern world, turns this around. Rather that preaching detachment and distance over continued bonding and assistance, as so many therapists, self-help books, and 12-step groups currently do, prodependence celebrates the human need for and pursuit of intimate connection, viewing this as a positive force for change. Simply stated, prodependence occurs when attachment relationships are mutually beneficial--with one person's strengths filling in the weak points of the other, and vice versa. And this can occur even when an addiction is present
Download or read book Breaking Free of the Co Dependency Trap written by Janae B. Weinhold and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bestselling book, now in a revised edition, radically challenges the prevailing medical definition of co-dependency as a permanent, progressive, and incurable addiction. Rather, the authors identify it as the result of developmental traumas that interfered with the infant-parent bonding relationship during the first year of life. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, Barry and Janae Weinhold correlate the developmental causes of co-dependency with relationship problems later in life, such as establishing and maintaining boundaries, clinging and dependent behaviors, people pleasing, and difficulty achieving success in the world. Then they focus on healing co-dependency, providing compelling case histories and practical activities to help readers heal early trauma and transform themselves and their primary relationships.
Download or read book Healing Trauma Through Self Parenting written by Philip Diaz and published by Health Communications, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-healing through self-parenting, a concept introduced a generation ago, has helped thousands of adult children of alcoholics who are codependent and have conflicts in their primary relationships. Now Patricia O'Gorman, Ph.D., and Phil Diaz, M.S.W., authors of the classic book The 12 Steps to Self-Parenting for Adult Children and its companion workbook, expand the reach of that successful healing paradigm to anyone who has suffered from any kind of trauma. Whether they grew up in a dysfunctional home, were victims of violence, or suffered other types of acute distress, many people struggle to determine the impact of earlier trauma on current adult decision making. O'Gorman and Diaz show how trauma is a driver of dysfunctional behaviors and linked with codependency, and they offer a concise yet detailed resource for survivors and thrivers as well as the professionals who work with them. Through a process modeled after the 12 Steps of AA, Healing Trauma Through Self-Parenting: The Codependency Connection offers help to a broad array of readers (not just those who are ACOAs) by healing the wounded inner core and helping readers reconnect to their inner child.
Download or read book Unbalanced written by Stephen Roach and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The modern-day Chinese and U.S. economies have been locked in an uncomfortable embrace since the late 1970s. Although the relationship was built on a set of mutual benefits, in recent years it has taken on the trappings of an unstable co-dependence. This insightful book lays bare the pitfalls of the current China-U.S. economic relationship, highlighting disputes over trade policies and intellectual property rights, sharp contrasts in leadership styles, the role of the Internet, and the political economyof social stability. Stephen Roach, a firsthand witness to the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s and an economics expert who likely knows more about U.S.-China trade than any other Westerner, details how the two economies mirror one another. Co-dependency augments the tensions and suspicions between the two nations, but there is reason to hope for less antagonism and rivalry, the author maintains. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, both economies face structural changes that present opportunities for mutual benefit. Roach describes a way out of the escalating tensions of co-dependence and insists that the Next China offers much for the Next America--and vice versa"--

Download or read book Codependency written by David Lawson PhD and published by Vincenzo Venezia. This book was released on with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you having trouble fostering healthy relationships? Are you stressed, feeling drained and exhausted from giving too much in your relationships? Do you know who you are? What you need? What you like? Or do you feel that you need to be validated and approved by a partner (or any other person) to feel good about yourself? If your life has been overshadowed by an addiction, trauma or toxic shame, you are probably fighting with an invisible enemy; an enemy that is particularly difficult to vanquish: codependency. Codependency is notoriously difficult to combat because there is no precise definition of the disorder. The signs and symptoms also differ for everyone. It is often mistaken for narcissism or other personality disorders that do not reflect the true situation. Experts say that it is a pattern of behavior in which a person finds themselves dependent on someone else's approval for their self-esteem and identity. People who suffer from this disorder tend to mask what they really feel. At other times, they are not even aware of what they are doing. This only serves to cloud the overall picture by delaying positive interventions, which, sometimes will never come. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THIS BOOK IF: • You are not aware of how you truly feel. • You have difficulty identifying your feelings. • You have difficulty expressing your feelings. • You tend to minimize, modify or even deny the reality of what you feel. • You tend to worry and/or fear how others may respond to how you feel. • You give power over your feelings to others. Does this sound familiar to you? DOES YOUR PARTNER OFTEN: • Focus his or her attention on pleasing you. • Focus his or her attention on protecting you, even when it is not necessary. • Focus his or her attention on solving your problems. • Focus his or her attention on relieving your pain. • Focus his or her attention on manipulating you (forcing you to do things his or her way). There are numerous other situations that are listed in this book. Knowing the right information allows you to limit any damage by avoiding unnecessary suffering. Everyone seems to know a couple relationship in which one partner seems to be more involved than the other and tries to get their love and care by satisfying their needs. They try to control their partner's behavior through such subtle manipulation techniques, and the partner will often not even notice. They make endless and complicated dances around problems, but what they never do is establish a sincere and healthy connection. WHAT YOU NEED NOW: Listen to those who understand this problem and have experienced the dynamics just listed. Inquire: read, watch videos and access people who have the skills to alleviate the destructive damage that unstable parents can create. This manual offers support not only to those who are codependent, but also gives useful advice to partners, family and friends on how to reduce the discomfort and suffering of their loved one, with sections written especially for them. This complete approach makes this manual a milestone of its kind. Act now before it's too late If a codependent denies his destructive behavior, he can pass it on to his children. If the child does not realise the behavioural model of the parents, and its negative impact, it will generate the same patterns as an adult. An endless cycle can be established.
