Publisher's Synopsis
Are you the person everyone comes to when they're in a jam? Do you regularly accommodate others' needs and preferences? If these questions resonate, the odds are good that you are one of the overgiving, overextending individuals struggling with what expert Terri Cole has termed high-functioning codependency (HFC). The ironic truth with HFC is that the more capable you are the more codependency doesn't look like codependency. In 'Too Much', you'll discover how to identify your HFC blueprint (or why you relate to others the way you do), the source of the attraction between codependents and narcissists, and how to cultivate emotional resiliency, practice real self-care, and much more. Each chapter includes tips, self-assessments, and exercises to help you transform how you see yourself and the world, avoid relapses, and stay centered in your own experience so that you can relate to others in a healthier way.
