Break away and recover from patterns of codependency

It could start as lending an occasional hand, but over time, escalates into putting someone else above everything else-even our own well-being. Balance is needed for healthy relationships with others and ourselves. The Codependency Recovery Plan presents an enlightening look at codependency, where it comes from, and a detailed pathway out.

The Codependency Recovery Plan fully explains codependency, its symptoms, and the factors that contribute to its development. It offers guidance on ways to recognize codependent behavior, become a better communicator, set boundaries, mend romantic relationships, and raise your self-esteem. Chapter exercises provide a workspace for self-reflection so that you can see your situation with fresh eyes, and gain a new perspective on your own life.

Independence starts with a step-by-step plan:

• Step 1: Get in Touch with Your "Self"-Learn to look inward and become self-reliant.
• Step 2: Prioritize Self-Care-Honor and value your own self-worth and be kind to yourself.
• Step 3: Build Boundaries-Set limits for giving your life and love to others.
• Step 4: Maintain Open Communication-Speak comfortably and confidently with your support network.
• Step 5: Nurture Intimacy-Create healthy and constructive connections.

Start building a better relationship with yourself and the people around you using The Codependency Recovery Plan.
