No self-love- from emotional dependence to codependence

This book contains clinical cases and personal experiences of patients who learn to recover from their emotional dependence and codependence in their treatment process.

Emotional pain is harder to feel and endure than physical pain. Many people are hooked on emotional pain and drama.

Emotional dependence is a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual disease which a large portion of our society suffers from. One of its symptoms is codependence, and there is a solution for it.

Codependence is a syndrome made up of dysfunctional behavior patterns such as perfectionism, pleasing, manipulating, need for controlling, need for approval, incapacity to take decisions, permissiveness, procrastination and victimhood among others.

Codependence entails the belief that we are incomplete. This belief turns us into people with a great need of being needed.
