Breaking Free of the Co-Dependency Trap

Description

Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap identifies co-dependency as the result of developmental traumas that interfered with the infant-parent bonding relationship during the first year of life. This book radically challenges the prevailing medical definition of co-dependency as a permanent, progressive, and incurable addiction.

This bestselling book, now in a revised edition, describes not only the problem, but what you can do about it. Drawing on their decades of clinical experience, Barry and Janae Weinhold correlate the developmental causes of co-dependency with relationship problems later in life, such as establishing and maintaining boundaries, clinging and dependent behaviors, people pleasing, and difficulty achieving success in the world.

The last half of Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap focuses on healing co-dependency, and gives compelling case histories and practical activities to help readers heal early trauma and transform themselves and their primary relationships.
