5.0 out of 5 starsGreat information
By TDE on October 17, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I have always known something was not right with me, but could never pinpoint what that something was. Based on past relations with significant others, famil and friends...I just thought I was a depressed control freak. After reading reviews and description of this book, I finally got it. After forty years, I finally understand that I'm not crazy and that my actions are based on thinks I was raised. In no way playing the blame game, it was enlightening to see a pattern in my family structure that dates back even before my time. It's almost like a cycle, and this wonderful book allowed me to see that. That being said, the strategies and confidence I have built up since reading this book has turned me into a more positive person, that wants to live my life and not depend on living through others through control or manipulation even at a subconscious level. It was also peace of mind to know that this is a true disorder...maybe not medically classified, but it is real and it is a cycle/addiction that can be broke. Thanks so much for this eye opener book that has truly changed the way I'm living my life...and my family thanks you as well

5.0 out of 5 starsThis remarkable, insightful, easy to read & understand will give you clarity & understanding you didn't think possible.
By Charchsr on August 26, 2012
Format: Paperback
This book is truly a life changer. At 52 years of age I had become a highly functional, sucessful codependent. Assuming at my age & the circumstances of my life accepting my brokeness was just the way it was. Never imagined any thing could or would change or
be different , as these were the cards I had been dealt.
I WAS WORNG ON EVERY LEVEL. As a result of this book, my life has done 360 & the clarity, understanding & healing are astonishingly remarkable, not to mention unbelievable. I am finally FREE w/ a peace I never thought possible.
Thank you the the author for sharing her walk through codependency, in order to help others get to the other side. What a blessing.
A MUST READ & SHARE

1.0 out of 5 starswhy the religion?
By louise stevenson on March 15, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I bought this book because i was looking for a way to understand codependency. It is probably a good book for the person who is or wants to be a christian. But some people are looking for a way to solve their problems without involving religion. This is not a book for them.

2.0 out of 5 starsSorta alright
By Alexis Sudin on February 1, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Within the first few pages it's obvious this book is in desperate need of a competent editor. Run on sentences and punctuation mistakes, typos, and lack of a cohesive style make this book a frustrating read. Also, edited correctly, part one would fit about 12 crisp, potent pages, rather than 58 pages of stiff, self-conscious and emotionally guarded filler. I couldn't take her seriously. Part two and three does get better. The sections are more organized, directed, and focused. And are much more honest. But all in all it's an amateur's attempt at self-help. She makes too many assumptions about her audience and offers too much opinion. I was very put off by the numerous and heavy handed references to Christianity, as well as her not being able to fathom recovery without G*D (higher power) and her pity for those who don't believe. Her attempts at challenging the reader only come off as condescending dares. The chapter on forgiveness though is surprising encouraging and gently delivered.

I bought this book for someone who needs to learn about co-dependency. I would not give it to them. There are so many books on the market that are technically well written with the message better expressed. Though I didn't hate the book I would not have bought it if I could have read more than the few samples Amazon allows. I hope the author invests further in this book and allows someone to do an extensive edit along with her doing a serious rewrite. I think her first hand experience could be helpful to newbies and vets alike.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis has given me great hope!
By shanthee on September 1, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is the first book I read In my journey to changing my life. I had no idea what codependency was; however i relate to a T! It seriously opened my mind and I'm so excited to continue applying these skills to my life so that I can continue in getting better. Easy read and it flows beautifully. Not one spot did I get bored or think it wouldn't benefit me. People who have gone through a really rough childhood or are having a tough time now, there is absolutely hope! I honestly feel like my heart is opened....? I don't know how to describe it, it's just awesome!

5.0 out of 5 starsInformative and practical
By Lois Ihrman on February 27, 2012
Format: Paperback
I love this book. This is one of my new favorite books on codependency. I found
it to be easy to read with helpful information about a complex subject. The
author condenses the information into 3 sections that I view as education,
exploration and exercises. She has expanded on the idea that codependency is
only associated with addiction and proposes it also has roots in trauma,
abuse and shame. I have reread it multiple times and use the simple
mindfulness exercises often. Although there is no easy solution to overcoming
codependency, I am inspired by the author to keep working toward change and
encouraging others to do the same.

4.0 out of 5 starsYou're not crazy-you're codependent
By Jan Prahl on July 30, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I'm glad I bought the book. I read it and have passed it on to a step-daughter who is fighting alcohol and drug dependency and recommended it to a psychologist and priest.

It seems that a lot of us are codependent in some area of our life. The book was informative, instructive (a laymen's guide to recovery from someone who has "walked the walk"), and as it is easy to understand and relate to, a helpful tool for people fighting codependency.
