For anyone who has been in a toxic relationship, engages in self-sabotaging behaviors themselves, or simply wants to be a better partner, and person, Facing Codependence dives into the core of human behavior and allows readers to: · End toxic patterns, including love addiction, narcissism, alcoholism, and substance abuse · Heal from dysfunctional family dynamics and end the cycle of abuse once and for all · Ditch anxious and avoidant attachment to form stable and secure relationships · Rediscover your sense of purpose, self-worth, and reclaim your identity and independence Mellody simultaneously sets forth five primary adult symptoms of this crippling condition, then traces their origin to emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and sexual abuses that occur in childhood.
