Codependent no more
Book • 1987
In 'Codependent No More,' Melody Beattie provides a compassionate and insightful look into codependency, the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping another.
The book helps readers understand that they are powerless to change anyone but themselves and that caring for the self is where healing begins.
With instructive life stories, personal reflections, exercises, and self-tests, it offers a clear and achievable path to freedom and a lifetime of healing, hope, and happiness.
The book is particularly relevant for those who have lost sight of their own lives while tending to a loved one’s self-destructive behavior.
