Product Description
Product Description
In the book "Facing Codependence" by the same author, the origins of codependence are traced back to childhood and a wide range of emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical and sexual abuses. In this workbook, she presents a step-by-step journal-keeping method for moving toward recovery from codependence. Based on such concepts as the "precious child" and the five core symptoms of codependence, along with the Twelve-Step process of recovery used by Codependents anonymous, the book provides strategies and insights for attacking the fundamental problem in codependence, the lack of dependence on the self. In a three part approach to recovery, the author first shows recovering dependents how to move beyond denial of their childhood history of abuse. She then offers techniques to identify concrete ways in which the symptoms of codependence operate in their lives. The book guides users through the process of identifying and recording specific instances of improvement in their lives as an aid to greater self-awareness and further recovery.

This book asks searching questions about your life. I'm just starting it. It follows the 12 Step fellowship programme as used by Codependents Anonymous (originally from Alcoholics Anonymous) and is for anyone who would describe themselves as co-dependent (I recommend her book on co-dependency Facing Codependence: What it is. Where it Comes from. How it Sabotages Our Lives). I hope I can do another review when I've finished. This book can't be just read. It has to be done. I'm looking forward to the journey.

i am not an advocate for workbooks when it comes to 12 step recovery, but in terms of codependence guidance is needed in a different format. her book that accompanies this workbook tells us what codependence is and how it sabbotages our lives, this workbook teases out the personal information so that it can be addressed. i have flicked through sections when it felt relevant and reviewed more thoroughly some others. i wouldnt recommend doing it alone though as with all recovery the journey needs to be shared.

If you're lucky enough to have completed 'survivors' 1 at the meadows, or you've done some trauma reduction work with a therapist, this is the next phase of recovery. Working on these well put together steps helps to treat the core issues of codependency (trauma) and brings about an ability to live in balance.I thoroughly recommend the book to anyone working on these issues.
