Publisher's summary

You are not cursed, you are only codependent.

There are many people who don't know the difference between being in a healthy relationship and being in one that is codependent. You have simply gone from one unsatisfactory situation to the next without being able to control the situation. This audiobook delves into why people feel this inadequacy and depend upon relationships that are at best unsatisfactory, and at worst positively abusive. You don't need to be hit on a regular basis to be abused. However, when you let someone else dictate the course of your life, based upon their own unrealistic viewpoint, you may as well package your life into a box and give it away. Codependent people do that. When you listen through this audiobook, you will find solutions.

Here is a preview of what you'll find:

  • Assessment test - codependency
  • Understand: what is codependency?
  • Evaluating self
  • Recapturing your small ambitions
  • Codependency in the workplace
  • Setting yourself free
  • Volunteerism
  • Learning to say no
  • Caregiving versus caretaking
  • Boundaries
  • Recovery from codependence

Readers are advised to follow the exercises and to write down their progress in the following areas:

  • Self-esteem
  • Knowing the difference between caretaking and caregiving
  • Changing approach toward boundaries
  • Working toward freedom from the chains of codependency
  • Codependency in the workplace
  • Codependency when caring for the elderly
  • Codependency within a relationship

The information in this audiobook gives examples, and listeners can easily adapt the exercises to suit their individual circumstances, making it valuable for those looking for solutions to unsatisfactory relationships with others which can be classed as codependent.

helped me evaluate my relationship

I've learned a lot and it definitely influenced how I think about things. The narrator's voice is soft and therapeutic for me. This book helped me evaluate my relationship. The examples are realistic and may be an everyday scenarios for some people.

If you are human, you should listen to this book.

If you are human, you should listen to this book. You could be on the receiving end of a codependent relationship, the abuser or even a friend or acquaintance of someone who suffers from a toxic relationship. I think everyone should have a role on how to put a stop on codependence. It's never healthy!

how to say NO

Th biggest thing I learned from this book is how to say NO. It all starts from there. I always say YES even when I want to say NO. This book has greatly impacted my self-esteem and my approach. Enlightening!

Eye opening

Very emotional but helpful eye opening book that has helpful tools. Good tools to apply but can be hard to hear so I’d suggest listening to in multiple sessions

Helped me reevaluate myself.

Helped me reevaluate myself. I mostly said yes to the assessment. My goal now is to re-listen this book in the future and be able to answer NO in these questions.

I wish I had this when I was younger

Excellent points! I wish I had this when I was younger. I could have prevented those unhealthy relationships I had in the past. I learned a lot now. This is worth sharing to friends who may not be aware that they are suffering from codependent relationships.

helps me focus more on me

I used to think I am a broken and that I don’t have friends whom I can trust and really cares about me the way I care about them. I was most trusting before. This is an eye-opener on how I dealt with people and relationships. This helps me focus more on me.

Perfect for those who have been victims of any

Perfect for those who have been victims of any kind of abuse and those who have codependency issues. More about tackling where the boundary is, how to value oneself and saying NO to people when you really mean NO.

Life-changing!

This is a life-changing book to listen. The book is worth getting in hard copy too. This is something I'd listen again in the future to see how I improved my relationships with family and friends. The most important lesson I learned is to evaluate myself and put boundaries.
