Still up for debate: What constitutes codependency and what does not? Melissa points out that codependency is a common behavior in this instance. It has to do with drawing lines. Sometimes we feel too little, care too much, participate too much, or do too much. Heartfelt generosity is not the same as feeling bitterness after donating. It is not appropriate to use concepts like dominating and setting boundaries, enabling and nurturing, or narcissism and self-love interchangeably. Melissa examines these distinctions and skillfully draws on her moving narrative as well as the experiences of others to provide us the tools we need to permanently abandon the victim role. She demonstrates that codependency is not a disease but rather a set of behaviors that can be effectively overcome after being dissected and examined.
We can customize our own step-by-step wellness guide by using the overviews and activities provided in each area, which address specific behaviors such as manipulation, denial, repression, controlling, and taking care of others. These sections show us that even if it may not seem possible right now, we have the ability to take care of ourselves, no matter what we are going through, along with a series of tests that let us evaluate the degree of our codependent behavior. If you want to get answers to any Codependency-related questions or Fix any issue of Codependency, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!
