During pregnancy, a woman makes room in her mind, body, and heart for another person-one who requires love and support to survive. While these are noble qualities, giving too much can have negative effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eA Catholic Woman's Guide to Recovery from Codependence\u003c\/i\u003e, Brenda Daly, PhD, LCSW, explores the dark side of a woman's natural tendency to nurture and support: a soul sickness known as codependence. In caring for an alcoholic partner, for example, a woman may shift imperceptibly from caregiver to enabler. Just as her partner comes to depend on alcohol, so can a woman depend on supporting her sick partner, forming a codependent relationship that benefits no one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDaly writes that codependence often arises from a woman's low self-esteem-an obsession with external forces and a diminishment of the self. In her book, Daly uses scripture and meditations to help women escape the spiritual prison of codependence and turn their great capacity for love toward God-for to love God is to love oneself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phd Lcsw Brenda Daly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544621248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544621241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Phd Lcsw Brenda Daly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938385264895,"sku":"9781544621241","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a9049ce6-ffd1-4792-8964-6c2e256102a8.jpg?v=1681435379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-catholic-womans-guide-to-phd-lcsw-brenda-daly-9781544621241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
