Breaking Free from the Codependency Trap. Janae Weinhold, Barry Weinhold

“Freedom from the Codependency Trap” is a book that has given hope to many people. Previously, it was believed that codependency is forever and that it is incurable. Janay Weinhold and Barry Weinhold presented a new approach to healing from codependency, which is based on more than thirty years of scientific research in the field of developmental psychology and many years of experience in successfully helping people with codependency.

The authors consider codependency as a consequence of developmental trauma and convincingly prove that healing is possible. Janay and Barry not only talk about liberation from codependency, but also show how to do it.

It is not enough to understand the causes of codependency and learn to see its signs in relationships - you need to change your habitual patterns of behavior. The second part of the book is about all the basic tools for recovery. Practical recommendations for independent work, psychotherapy, interaction in support groups and with a partner will help you go along this path. Janay Weinhold and Barry Weinhold share their patients' stories as well as their personal experiences overcoming codependency.
