Codependence and the Power of Detachment: How to Set Boundaries and Make Your Life Your Own

“This book is bound to become a codependence classic. It should be required reading for all who seek to create healthy, balanced relationships.” —Claudia Black, PhD, author of It Will Never Happen to Me

Codependency books are perfect for those of us who live as if what other people think matters more than what we think. This thinking leads to constantly trying to please or even to change others. Codependent behaviors can have negative effects on us and those around us, even leading to a dysfunctional family. It can be difficult to say no to those we love.

Karen Casey, bestselling author of Let Go Now and Each Day a New Beginning, has had her own experience with codependent behavior, and she is here to share what she has learned along the way. Through her own stories and the stories of those she has met through Al Anon meetings and elsewhere, she shows you how to detach from unhealthy codependency, create more positive relationships and, ultimately, lead a less stressful life.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Recognize and acknowledge your own attachments and codependency • Set boundaries, find peace, and engage in healthy detachment • Nurture positive relationships with the people in your life—both new and old

“Karen Casey outlines the continuing process of practicing detachment, which ultimately means dealing with our control issues and fear. Her honesty about detachment as a lifelong process brings comfort and encouragement.” ―Melody Beattie, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Codependent No More

“Karen Casey captures the experience, strength, and hope that are essential to maintaining healthy relationships with each other and with ourselves.” ―William C. Moyers, author of Broken
