Description
From the Publisher: Twenty-five years after Melody Beattie introduced the world to the term codependency in her groundbreaking work, Codependent No More, the question remains: What is and what is not codependency? In this follow-up volume, Beattie clears up misconceptions about codependency and reminds us that much of it is normal behavior. It's about crossing lines. There are times we do too much, care too much, feel too little, or overly engage. Codependency, she shows, is not an illness but rather a series of behaviors that once broken down and analyzed can be successfully combated. Along the way, Beattie effectively invokes her own inspiring story and those of others to empower us to step out of the victim role forever, demonstrating that while it may not seem possible now, we have the power to take care of ourselves, no matter what we are experiencing. Punctuated with Beattie's renowned candor and intuitive wisdom, The New Codependency is an owner's manual to learning to be who we are and gives us the tools necessary to reclaim our lives by renouncing unhealthy practices. In The New Codependency, Melody Beattie explains how codependent behavior has changed; identifying a new generation whose codependency manifests itself through continued taking and entitlement rather than the inability to stop giving. Offers specifically tailored activities and tests pertaining to particular behaviors, enabling us to assess our level of codependent behavior and personalize our own step-by-step guide to wellness. Provides guidance on how we can move out of the Codependent Zone, helping us to cross back over the line and reclaim our lives.
