About this audiobook
Codependence is primarily a learned behavior from our family of origin. Some cultures have it to a greater degree than others-some still see it as a normal way of living. Yet the costs of codependence can include distrust, faulty expectations, passive-aggressiveness, control, self-neglect, over-focus on others, manipulation, intimacy issues, and a slew of other harmful traits. Codependence causes serious pain and affects the majority of Americans-not just women and loved ones of addicts. Codependency For Dummies, 2nd Edition offers authoritative and trusted guidance on ways to raise your self-esteem, detach and let go, set boundaries, recognize healthy vs. dysfunctional relationships, overcome guilt and resentment, and much more.

Reviews for Codependency for Dummies
9 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent and much needed. Many people could benefit from this.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very engaging narrator and informative book.
I'm only dissatisfied and annoyed that at the end of every chapter, the narration gets cut off midways of the final sentence/word and goes to the next chapter. The information is understandable, but it was annoying to experience that.
Other than that, I liked it very much. Totally recommended for self improvement.
