Main description:

Find Boundaries and Peace from Codependent Behaviors"This book is bound to become a codependence classic. It should be required reading for all who seek to create healthy, balanced relationships." -Claudia Black, PhD.

Free yourself from codependency and reclaim your sanity, peace, and inner strength with this codependency book by Karen Casey, the bestselling author of Each Day a New Beginning.

Learn how to value your own opinion over those of others. Codependency books are perfect for those of us who live as if what other people think matters more than what we think. This thinking leads to constantly trying to please or even to change others. Codependent behaviors can have negative effects on us and those around us, even leading to a dysfunctional family. It can be difficult to say no to those we love.

A codependency book on improving your life through boundaries and peace. Karen Casey, bestselling author of Let Go Now and Each Day a New Beginning, has had her own experience with codependent behavior, and she is here to share what she has learned along the way. Through her own stories and the stories of those she has met through Al Anon meetings and elsewhere, she shows you how to detach from unhealthy codependency, create more positive relationships and, ultimately, lead a less stressful life.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

Recognize and acknowledge your own attachments and codependency
Set boundaries, find peace, and engage in healthy detachment
Nurture positive relationships with the people in your life-both new and old

If you liked codependency books such as The Language of Letting Go, Facing Codependence, or The Codependency Recovery Plan, you'll love Codependence and the Power of Detachment.
