Time to start acting like it. Be the change that needs to happen in your life and begin setting effective, firm boundaries. If you don’t, no one ever will.

Being in a relationship without knowing how to share your feelings and receive your partner’s feelings in useful ways is like jumping into a pool without knowing how to swim. You can flail around all you want, but it’s not going to keep you afloat for very long—you need to be able to move in any direction at will. Like swimming, knowing how to share your feelings and respond to your partner's feelings will move your relationship in the direction you want: toward more intimacy, closeness, connection, and trust.

Pathological mind games. Covert and overt put-downs. Triangulation. Gaslighting. Projection. These are the manipulative tactics survivors of malignant narcissists are unfortunately all too familiar with. As victims of silent crimes where the perpetrators are rarely held accountable, survivors of narcissistic abuse have lived in a war zone of epic proportions, enduring an abuse cycle of love-bombing and devaluation - psychological violence on steroids.

Great book on codependency recovery
This was a good book on codependency recovery. I learned so much about Codependency and what it was all about. I realized that some people really get caught up in the obsession and that it is tougher to get out than one may realize. Codependency is just as serious as any other addiction and deserves serious intervention. I am grateful to have read this book.

very reflective and personal connections
This book was very informative and enlightened. I connected with each chapter and felt the connections in my life through each chapter. I loved how the author gave points but backed them up with examples and solution outputs that we can take. I definitely recommend this book to almost everyone jsut so people can really tap into their ideas of codependency because many can relate to this book for sure. very well written and simple to understand clearly. The connections of different traumas from relationships personally or even childhood relations can effect one's dependency and the author explained how each one is different in its own way yet there are ways to channel the source and benefit yourself by finding the right positive channel of resources.

'You do not have to take on their emotions-'
'Or Struggles.'
Ya'll did not have to call me out that hard.
This study on codependency and breaking out of the pattern was one thing I did not want to hear, but I know I needed to hear.
The author went a long way to describing the types of dependent and codependent relationships that could and will lead codependency outside of what I thought was the only version of codependence. Looking back at my own relationships with not only romantic partners but with my family and relatives made me start to think a bit more about how those relationships effected my later romantic ones and may stick with me when and if I eventually decide to pursue others.
While I felt a little called out, it wasn't in a put down way that I am used to when it comes to pointing out issues within relationships, and the suggestions on breaking a codependency are both logical, if even a little hard, doable.
The narrator gave a lot of depth to the information, avoiding the dry windedness you usually get from a psychological based work, and made it feel as if everything was being said by someone who cared and fully wanted to help with the issue. Like someone who truly wanted to see me do better and well in the relationship journey.
A great and workable afternoon was spent on listening this work, And it has been saved to listen to again as a reminder to avoid falling back into the same abusive patterns and bad habits from both the user and the used perspectives.

Also I used to have obsessive overthinking. With this book I have recovered from all the bad habits . Though it's not easy but with dedication I achieved the goal. I am now not preoccupied with activities of my relationships.

amazing book
I learned so much about Codependency and what it was all about. I realized that some people really get caught up in the obsession and that it is tougher to get out than one may realize. Codependency is just as serious as any other addiction and deserves serious intervention. truly an amazing book. Here, I learnt that codependency is a problem that millions of people struggle with. It is a disorder in which someone relies on someone else to meet their needs instead of taking care of themselves. Codependency can be caused by many things, such as genetics, upbringing, and the environment. This book is about helping people overcome codependency through therapy and self-help techniques. I like this book because it is easy to read and provides step-by-step instructions on how to overcome codependency. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to overcome their codependent behavior.

Very Helpful In Unpacking Codependency
When one initially thinks of codependency and recovery from it, it tends to be in the lens of solely romantic relationships; while witnessing this behavior perhaps most visibly through enmeshed couples, this text navigates the prevalence of such anxious attachments and denials of self through platonic, family, and professional relationships as well, allowing for us to trace back the potential origins of these behaviors, that what entails codependency is an insecure, undefined concept of self and self-worth. This is what stood out to me in particular, because it cast a spotlight on my relationship with my single mother growing up, making me realize I was indeed taking on a lot of disproportionate parent-pleasing behavior which I've found myself unconsciously emulating in adulthood as the giver, the one without boundaries at times, because speaking up feels like actual fright within my body, anticipating the hypothetical dismissal. Linda's thoroughness in first introducing the topic as it pertains to initial human attachment, exploring the attachment styles, how they present in different human relationships, then honing in on intimate relationship dynamics and the practical rediscovery + reparenting process of the overall recovery journey is very approachable and much appreciated. It's a healthy look into the mirror, a friend to guide you, a healthy first step into choosing yourself this time.

Helping Youth Escape Anxiety.
Read this so I could coach some kids at my local youth center.
Some of them have had a pretty rough journey so far, coming from broken homes and ending up alone or in trouble within their communities. Many of them could not break free from the harmful relationships they were in, mostly with bad friends in their age group. I read this to see if relationships between adolescents could also be codependent.
I am glad to report that I learnt so much about how easily even the simplest relationships can lead to personal anxiety and co-dependence — all it takes is for one person to demand that the others give up their sense of self. Never let anyone take away your sense of self. These are lessons I can pass on now.
Everyone wants to be loved and appreciated, but this can lead to dark holes if we try to get love and approval from the wrong people, like people who do not take accountability for their actions or that take and take without giving back their fair share.
I use this book to teach young people not to minimize their own needs. No matter how alone they feel, they should not throw their lives away or break the law just to fit in. Their own lives should come first.
Now I teach young people not to overthink when they feel anxious or feel that someone is taking advantage of them. I recommend this book if you want to learn how to stay yourself and be independent even when in tough situations.
Take control. You are worth it.

THIS is Self Care! Codependency Recovery!
This was my pick for self care Saturday and it did not dissapoint! Codependency is very real and relatable content for me and Codependency Recovery is something I am personally working on. Reading Linda Hill's books have been like therapy for me, she writes about topics I relate to like ADHD, Codependency Recovery & dealing with Narcissistic types. Codependency Recovery highlights traits of codependent relationships not only romantic, but work, friends, and family relationships. It then provides support and solutions to changing the patterns. Definitely a great read for a push over like myself. Thank you to writer Linda Hill & Alene Sorensen with great narration.
