Courage to Cure Codependency: Healthy Detachment Strategies to Overcome Jealousy in Relationships, Stop Controlling Others, Boost Your Self Esteem, (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781730889998)

Do you want to have the courage to trust yourself, speak up for yourself, say "no," and enforce boundaries in your relationships?
Do you find yourself always in the position of being a caretaker, sacrificing your own needs in favor of someone else's, and taking on other people's responsibilities and consequences? Have you ever been a people-pleaser, trapped by your own over commitments to come to the rescue of everyone around you, and work to ensure everyone else's happiness but your own?

If you have said yes to any of these questions, you may be exhibiting signs of codependency. While the term codependency came about to describe alcoholic behavior, codependency is not just for those suffering from substance abuse. And codependency can be present in all types of relationships--romantic, platonic, or with friends and family.

Codependency comes in many forms and vary degrees of severity, but we've all been there at some point. Always trying to "fix" someone. Finding ourselves constantly attracting the same types of low-functioning people who are always in some sort of "crisis" and we're always coming to their rescue. Having a hard time saying "no" when we know we should.

Or maybe your relationship starts off great and you feel happy, but at some point you find yourself in a position where you get wrapped up in your partner's life, and push aside your own goals, dreams, and habits. What seemed like healthy attachment has now turned into you basing your happiness on someone else's and constantly seeking validation from outside yourself.

Courage to Cure Codependency will help you avoid codependency at all stages of a relationship. It will help you eliminate codependency in a current relationship, heal from the ending of a codependent relationship, and prevent getting into a codependent relationship in the future. Even though you may be exhibiting codependent behavior, it is not who you are, and your best self is underneath the parts of you that are holding you back.

In this book, you will learn:

• How to practice saying no and enforcing boundaries

• How to reframe your thoughts to empower yourself and prevent future codependent behavior

• Seven steps to heal from a codependent relationship

• How to reclaim your self-esteem and self-confidence

• The key things you must do in order to avoid getting back into another codependent relationship

• How to free yourself from guilt of refusing to continue to be an enabling caretaker

• How to salvage a codependent relationship and turn it around

• How to identify which type of codependent you are

• Why your codependency isn't your fault

• The surprisingly innocent behavior you may have done as a child that is causing codependent behavior in adulthood

• Sneaky ways codependency shows up in relationships and the harmful codependent behaviors you may not realize you're exhibiting

• And much more...

You deserve to have healthy relationships. It's never too late to make a change, even if you have "always been this way," and jumped from relationship to relationship, or held on to dysfunctional partners longer than you should have, repeating negative cycles and patterns for fear of being alone.

You have the strength to free yourself from the burden of codependency, find your inner power, discover inner peace, and uncover the healthiest version of yourself.

Your journey to healing starts right now.
