Addictive Relationships: Reclaiming Your Boundaries [Paperback]

Joy Miller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1989

Dedicated to the claiming of your own personal boundaries, this book deals with our addictive or destructive relationships not only centered around our spouse or lover, but also around our children, our friends or our parents. If we have lost ourselves along the way, we have probably given ourselves away. This book examines where we are, where we want to go and how to get there. We will move addictive loving styles to find the true love of ourselves and reclaim our selfhood.

This is a positive step-by-step process for recovery using affirmations and exercises for inner growth.

This review is from: Addictive Relationships: Reclaiming Your Boundaries (Paperback)

I am working with issues about boundaries, and have found that I am caught in many addictive relationships and have very limited boundaries. This book has guided me on the path to have a stronger boundary around myself. This book is good, therefore I am purchasing one for my healing circle. If you have a problem with boundaries, this is one book to read.
