FACING CODEPENDENCE - Pia Mellody

Facing Codependence: An Insightful Approach to Healing from Childhood Abuses, Overcoming Love Addiction, and Breaking Free from Toxic Emotions

In this updated groundbreaking bestseller, Pia Mellody creates a framework for identifying codependent thinking, emotions, and behavior and provides an effective approach to recovery.

Central to Pia's approach is the concept that the codependent adult's injured inner child needs healing. Recovery from codependence therefore involves, clearing up the toxic emotions left over from these painful childhood experiences.

“I have discovered that we, codependents, are very hard to treat. I resisted doing anything people suggested that might have gotten me into recovery sooner. It wasn't until I experienced enough pain to become willing to do anything to change that I would try their suggestions.” Pia Mellody, 'Facing Codependence: What It Is, Where It Comes From, How It Sabatages Our Lives'

Pia's critical and renowned work presents an understanding that addiction is often rooted in codependency which can stem from childhood experiences in abusive or dysfunctional family systems.
