“You’re Not Crazy – You’re Codependent.: What Everyone Affected by Addiction, Abuse, Trauma or Toxic Shaming Must know to have peace in their lives” is an interesting book about Recovery by Adult Children of Alcoholics. Jeanette Elisabeth Menter is the author of this impressive book. The way Jeanette Menter writes and shares her story in this book is remarkable. Lots of good observations and suggestions here, with very few wasted words. Its focus is on a mindset that you’ll either identify with or not. If you see yourself here, you’ll know you need the kind of suggestions given in the book. Emphasis is on changing yourself not other people. As resources for doing that, the author emphasizes looking at past–and especially childhood–experiences that influenced you towards a negative self-image and a tendency towards distorted thinking. But she also encourages you to move beyond the past and focus on what you can do in the present. She encourages you to process emotions and experiences with nonjudgmental mindfulness, as opposed to, says, by obsessive stewing over injustices and attempts to rationalize what or why something happened. At the end of the book, she cites resources for making further progress along the lines she’s suggested.
Codependent No More

“Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself” is a great book for those who have become overly entangled and taken over by the life of someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol. It is an easy read and quite informative. Melody Beattie is the author of this classy book. This book is well written, easy reading and addresses real problems & real situations in families dealing with addiction, either your own or a family member. Melody Beattie takes her readers to the heart of what it means to be in a codependent relationship, and all of us to some degree have experienced codependency. With candid insights, many based on her personal experience, she leads us to an understanding of how our efforts to direct and control others only lead to frustration and disappointment. Although codependency is most often associated with drugs or alcohol, this book will guide the reader in finding help with aging parents, demanding, emotionally weak, irresponsible, or mentally ill people. You learn that you can care FOR someone without taking care of them. You can learn to save yourself from the “crazy-making” that comes from taking on responsibilities that are not yours to take; to let others lead their own lives come what may. This international best-seller is written by Melody Beattie – a woman who has lived through being kidnapped, being abandoned, being sexually abused, being a drug and alcohol addict, the death of her son and co-dependency issues. This book deals specifically with those who are dealing with partners, children, parents, friends or other loved ones that have an addiction or other compulsive, destructive tendencies. Often the attention is given to those that have the “problem”, while those closest to them are often in just as much need. Many of us often feel that we are being supportive and helpful, when in fact we may be disempowering and “rescuing” those we love. This behaviour doesn’t help either party. This book emphasizes that people need to be responsible for their own decisions, choices, and consequences. You can lovingly listen to them and share ideas, but the ultimate responsibility for change is up to them. Many co-dependents have difficulty setting boundaries and then find themselves used and abused over and over again. This pattern can stop and may ultimately not only heal the co-dependent from their need to “help”, but also allow the space for the affected person to take the steps necessary for recovery. A very gentle and encouraging book to help those who are feeling helpless and are spending their energy on trying to help others often while ignoring their own needs and wants. Lots of great suggestions on how to “let go” without giving up on those you care about. If you want a healthier life, full of ways to take care of yourself, this is the book for you. Get out of the circle of crazy and start taking care of yourself. Love yourself. This book is life-changing if you want the change.

Jackson MacKenzie is the author of this powerful book. This book is a modern, amazing compilation of information on narcissists. This is a great book for anyone looking for answers and understanding about being in an abusive relationship. One day, out of the blue, your confusing and emotionally-charged romance abruptly ends. Your partner is gone like the wind and into a new relationship in zero seconds flat. You’re left absolutely devastated and wondering what the hell happened to you. You start searching the internet with terms like “cheating girlfriend” and “abusive boyfriend” and eventually you stumble onto websites discussing Psychopaths, Narcissists, and other disordered and toxic people. It isn’t long before the dire reality hits you – you’ve been targeted by a predator, and you aren’t alone. Up to 1 in 25 people walking this earth are psychopaths and the wide majority will remain undiagnosed, flying under society’s radar, for their entire lives. The pseudonymous author has laid out all the important characteristics of the garden-variety psychopath and the inevitable harm he heaps upon his romantic partners in the relationship cycle of idealization, devaluation, and discarding. He writes in layman’s terms the effect the deception, covert and overt abuse, manipulation, and pathological lying have on the partner’s psyche. He discusses specific steps to take to break free of the trauma bond and begin walking the path towards a healthy life and healthy relationships. The author is walking the path to freedom himself and gives credit to those who have helped him along the way from clinical researchers to a group of online friends, also survivors, who are working to heal as well. It’s important to note that this book is written in terms that a person fresh out of an abusive relationship can read without the dry clinical terminology and confusing verbiage. It is obviously written by a thoughtful and caring person who wishes to give something to those who are feeling pain and confusion of such devastating loss. We highly suggest this book for those of you looking for a little advice and guidance after a relationship with a sociopath, narcissist, or a generally toxic person. In any of those cases, it will help you sort through your mental anguish and anxieties that these people have created in you.
