Book Reviews of Beyond Codependency: And Getting Better All the Time
Book Review: This is the book that will bring change!!
Summary: 5 Stars
As an adult child of an alcoholic, and recently divorced from an abusive (codependent) marriage, I have heard the word "codependent" tossed around more than a few times with marriage counselors and therapists. I thought I was way beyond that. I actually ordered the book to gain insight into a friend of mine's issues (is that codependancy or what?) and found myself time and time again among the pages. It opened my eyes to behaviors and dysfunctional relationship issues that I was still repeating. WOW. I really understand what codependency is and even though I was not married to an alcoholic, I was truly in an awful abusive codependent controlling relationship and I will never do that again.
I have so many pages that I have underlined and dog-eared, and you can bet I will keep that book out to read and re-read often. Amazing.
Now that my eyes have been opened I can learn and grow and become a strong and independent person and find healthy functional relationships where I can truly be me and let the other person be them. This book is a must read for anyone in a codependent relationship!
Summary of Beyond Codependency: And Getting Better All the Time
You're learning to let go, to live your life free of the grip of someone else's problems. And yet you find you've just started on the long journey of recovery. Let Melody Beattie, author of the classic Codependent No More, help you along your way. A guided tour past the pitfalls of recovery, Beyond Codependency is dedicated to those struggling to master the art of self-care. It is a book about what to do once the pain has stopped and you've begun to suspect that you have a life to live. It is about what happens next.In simple, straightforward terms, Beattie takes you into the territory beyond codependency, into the realm of recovery and relapse, family-of-origin work and relationships, surrender and spirituality. With personal stories, hard-won insights, and activities, her book teaches the lessons of dealing with shame, growing in self-esteem, overcoming deprivation, and getting past fatal attractions long enough to find relationships that work.
"Melody Beattie is an American phenomenon . . . She connects with age-old quests for self-improvement and rebirth. . . [And she] understands being overboard, which helps her throw best-selling lifelines to those still adrift."
