Product Description
Review
"Mellody is a true pioneer...she offers tried and effective ways to treat codependency. This is a splendid offering."--John Bradshaw, national director of Codependency TreatmentLife Plus Institute, author of Healing the Shame That Binds You and Bradshaw On: The Family.
Product Description
This is a guide to understanding the origins of codependence and the path to recovery, tracing the illness back to childhood describing emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical and sexual abuse. Because of these earlier experiences, codependent adults often lack the skills necessary to lead mature lives and have satisfying relationships. Recovery from codependence is achieved by reparenting oneself. Central to the author's concept is the idea of the "precious child" that needs healing within each adult. She creates a framework for identifying codependent behaviour and outlines an effective therapy for recovery.

I approached the reading of this book with a little skepticism but having read it, now wholeheartedly recommend it to others. What this book does that I havent seen done before, is to explain WHY we feel like we do, and HOW our childhood has so profoundly influenced us. In addition it provides excellent advice for parents in avoiding the pitfalls of causing our own children to act and think disfunctionally. The advice on how to get "better" is a little shallow and I didn't like the many additional references to Pia Mellody's other offerings.
Apart from this, a really excellent book.

This book could not have been written by anyone other than a person that has suffered from codependent adult behaviour traits and patterns unless they had experienced themselves. Pia Melody has put together a marvelllously insightful book. I have looked at Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy and Religion in order to understand Why am I like I am? This book gives me the answer to that question and offers me hope that in recognising it I can overcome the detrimental effects of codependent behaviour and move forward aware and able to change in order to have healthier relationships with both myself and others.

I've personally recommended this book to numerous people. Essentially, if you have some kind of problem now e.g. addiction, anxiety, anger, depression, resentment: then you can link it back to you some kind of dysfunction at childhood. Once you see the cause and effect and work through that then those problems will disappear. I've just started working through the book and have done a few of the courses and it's made me understand why I do the things I do. Pop pyschology this is not.
I cannot recommend this book enough, but you will probably not be able to fully understand yourself without some basic 1 on 1 or group therapy.
