my therapist recommended I read this book in one of our final sessions before they switched to a different institution and man. mitch I miss u and also I definitely understand why u told me to read this ðŸ˜
some aspects of the book did not necessarily feel like they applied to me, just as in codependency in relationship to addiction and etc, but I think this is generally a great resource for anyone who struggles with codependency. only complaint is that the occasional mentions of religion / a higher power as a part of helping yourself didn't really apply to me, but those sections were relatively easy to skip and im sure helped a lot of other people!
chapters 4, 8, 14 thru 17, and 19 (specifically the parts on fear of intimacy, forgiveness, limits/boundaries) particularly hit for me!
