Synopsis

Melody Beattie, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Codependent No More, turns her attention to what comes after codependency: mastering the art of self-care. You’re learning to let go, to live your life free of the grip of someone else’s problems. And yet you realize that the long journey of recovery has only just begun. With her signature insight and humanity, Melody Beattie brings to light the aftermath of codependency in all its complexity. A guided tour past the pitfalls of recovery, Beyond Codependency is dedicated to those struggling to master the art of self-care. It is a book about what to do once the pain has stopped and you recognize that you have a life to live. It is about what comes next. In simple, straightforward terms, Beattie takes you beyond codependency, into the realm of recovery and relapse, family-of-origin work and relationships, surrender and spirituality. With personal stories, hard-won wisdom, and meditative exercises, this timeless book imparts lessons in overcoming shame, building self-esteem, healing from deprivation, and breaking free of damaging patterns in order to flourish in healthy, lasting relationships.

this was the first book my therapist recommended me to read in the three years we've been talking, so i knew it was going to be a doozy. from beginning to end, Beattie tackles the various aspects of life where codependency can root and take form. i used to think of codependency purely in a place of......more

Goodreads review by Jed on January 19, 2009

Can't say I "enjoyed" reading this book, but it did help me see how alcoholism in my family history has created unhealthy behaviors, even generations away from the problem. Good stuff.
