Description
Breaking Free: A Recovery Handbook for Codependency Pia Mellody's groundbreaking work, Facing Codependence, revealed the origins of codependence in childhood trauma and abuse. Now, in this innovative workbook, she offers a step-by-step journal-keeping method to help individuals move towards recovery from codependency. Mellody's approach is based on the concept of the "precious child" and the five core symptoms of codependence, as well as the Twelve-Step process of recovery used by Codependents Anonymous. The book is divided into three parts, guiding readers through the process of recovery, from acknowledging their childhood history of abuse to identifying and recording specific instances of improvement in their lives. Through this workbook, readers can develop greater self-awareness and work towards a more balanced and healthy relationship with themselves.
