About this audiobook
Are you stuck in toxic relationship patterns? Do you seem to attract narcissists or other disordered people? Are you ready to learn how to love yourself and others?
Based on the acclaimed podcast of the same name, follow Brian's transformative journey from codependency and despair to joyful, fulfilling and sustaining relationships. Gain guidance into examining your own life and crafting a personalized pathway to heal from codependency and trauma.
In Part 1 Brian explores:
- The family dynamics in childhood that set the stage for codependent habits.
- The long term effects of trauma, including its complex and chronic manifestations.
- Threat responses (particularly freeze and fawn) and the connection to the behaviors that make up codependency.
- The role of shame and fear in deepening codependent habits.
- How codependent behaviors foster isolation and perpetuate dysfunctional relationship dynamics.
- The toxic interplay between narcissism and codependency, and the trauma bonds that arise in relationships with abusive narcissists.
In Part 2 Brian explains:
- What is on the other side of codependency? Is it worth it?
- Healing from emotional wounds by connecting with other people, repairing emotional systems and re-writing stories.
- Breaking the codependent habits that prevent emotionally intimate relationships.
- Acquiring a new approach to romantic relationships.
