Live For Yourself, Not Others Free yourself from codependency and reclaim your sanity, peace, and inner strength with this guide by Karen Casey, the bestselling author of Each Day a New Beginning.

Let go of the need to constantly please others. Do you find yourself molding your entire life and personality around someone else? As if what you need means nothing the moment they enter the room—or even when they're not around? Codependency—living as if what others think matters more than what we think and trying to please or change others—is an insidious and pervasive addiction that can lead to a dysfunctional family or other unhealthy consequences. It can be difficult to say no.

A book on boundaries, growth, and improving your life. Karen Casey, bestselling author of Let Go Now and Each Day a New Beginning, knows what it feels like to live a life of codependency, and she's here to help. In Codependence and the Power of Detachment, Karen shares her story and the story of others who have suffered from codependency, from her experience with Al-Anon and elsewhere. And she shows you how they were able to detach themselves from their unhealthy codependency, leading to more positive relationships and a less stressful life.

Tools and steps for detaching from unhealthy relationships. Letting go and setting boundaries can be difficult. But in Codependence and the Power of Detachment, you will find insights and tools that will help you detach from a bad situation, such as:

• Acknowledging your attachment and codependency • Forgiving yourself and others • Shifting your focus to what actually works

Readers of codependency books and relationship books like Codependent No More, The Language of Letting Go, and Breaking Free will find a path to a better life with Codependence and the Power of Detachment.
