Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself by Melody Beattie

emotional informative sad medium-paced

4.5

This was a useful read which gave me an important, if not humbling, insight into a lot of my shortcomings and neuroses in dating and relationships by way of alerting me to unhealthy family dynamics and personal narratives. I personally felt codependence was a more useful concept that anxious attachment, though I have friends who feel otherwise. At the end of the day, it's about finding concepts that heal us.
