Purchase options and add-ons

In her pioneering Facing Codependence, Pia Mellody traced the origins of codependence back to childhood and a wide range of emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and sexual abuses. Now in this innovative new workbook, she presents a step-by-step journal-keeping method for moving toward recovery from codependence. Based on such concepts as the "precious child" and the five core symptoms of codependence, along with the Twelve-Step process of recovery used by Codependents Anonymous, Breaking Free provides strategies and insights for attacking the fundamental problem in codependence--the lack of dependence on self.

In a three-part approach to recovery, Mellody first shows recovering codependents how to move beyond denial of their childhood history of abuse. She then offers techniques to identify concrete ways in which the symptoms of codependence operate in their lives. Finally, Mellody guides users through the process of identifying and recording specific instances of improvement in their lives as an aid to greater self-awareness and further recovery.

Still Works For Recovery

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

This workbook is still quite important and appropriate for today's world There are many uses for the content to improve and enhance the life of a "Codependent", a term from years ago but no less useful of a label. I speak from experience as one who tries to "fix" things for people and end up leaving myself behind. I recommend reading it if you have problems setting boundaries and/or tend to take care of others instead of putting yourself fiirst; in other words, put your oxygen mask on first, THEN put on others' masks.

Workbook??

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2023

Verified Purchase

This looks for like a textbook. It is huge. I haven’t started it yet because the size is overwhelming. Bought this after reading Codependency by Apia Mellody.

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

When used in conjunction with her book "Facing Codependency" this workbook is exceptionally useful in not only understanding what causes codependency and how it effects your life, but also continuing in the recovery process.

I've found not just understanding the ways it impacts me, but also my loved ones, has made it a very useful tool in overcoming the tendencies. Sort of like using the disease against itself to provide motivation.

Recommend highly. While I definitely suggest purchasing the book as well, she does a fantastic job summarizing the key points in the workbook itself.

Purchased this to go along with Mia's codependent book. I'm glad I did. It is helping me set goals and become more aware of my life and what is really going on. Worth the money!

Like buying a new brain

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Work the 12 steps here. Start it with a group of others in recovery (uncovering their true self). The most comprehensive work I've ever had to do to look at myself and how the events of my past, even if seemingly non-traumatic, shaped my brain.

This handbook is full of great exercises that will help anyone with co-dependance or relationship problems work their way through them. The book "Facing Codependence" is required in order to do them correctly.

recovery workbook

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

i am not an advocate for workbooks when it comes to 12 step recovery, but in terms of codependence guidance is needed in a different format. her book that accompanies this workbook tells us what codependence is and how it sabbotages our lives, this workbook teases out the personal information so that it can be addressed. i have flicked through sections when it felt relevant and reviewed more thoroughly some others. i wouldnt recommend doing it alone though as with all recovery the journey needs to be shared.

Easy to use/read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

Very easy to understand and excellent workbook questions/tasks. That combined with her books on co-dependency are a fantastic tool to deal with such issues. I found it interesting, enlightening and was easy to just pick up & read for 15 mins, unlike some books where you need to read a whole chapter. Would recommend this highly if you want to look into your own co-dependency issues.
