Description

Co-dependency in Australia is still largely unrecognised. It originates from the denial of the "true self" in order to survive within a dysfunctional societal, educational, religious or family system during one's formative years of life. As adults, co-dependents are either attracted to addictive types or have an addictive personality.

Co-dependency is a progressive disease which causes ever-increasing stress, misery, disruptive relationships, controlling behaviour and physical illness. If left untreated, co-dependency can lead to addictions such as alcoholism, drug dependency, eating disorders, work addiction, compulsive gambling or spending, sex addiction and love addicted relationships.

This book will help you to release yourself from the past, create a more balanced lifestyle, and experience the joy of fulfilling relationships.
