Codependency for Dummies

By Darlene Lancer

Codependency is much more widespread than originally thought. You don’t even have to be in a relationship. Codependents have trouble accepting themselves, so they hide who they are to be accepted by someone else.

Codependency for Dummies is the most comprehensive book on the topic to date. It describes the history, symptoms, causes, and relationship dynamics of codependency and provides self-assessment questionnaires. The majority of the books devoted to healing and lays out a clear plan for recovery with exercises, practical advice, and helpful daily reminders to help you know, honor, protect, and express yourself.

It clarifies deep psychological dynamics that underlie codependency, yet is written in a conversational style that’s easily understandable by everyone.

You will learn:

• How to raise your self-esteem
• The difference between care-giving and codependent care-taking
• The difference between healthy and dysfunctional families
• How to set boundaries
• How to separate responsibility for yourself and for others
• How to overcome guilt and resentment

Sue Scheff: BRAVE - Be Ready and Victory's Easy (A Story about Social Anxiety)

By Marjie Braun Knudsen and Jenne R. Henderson

Great review from Dr. Michele Borba, Parenting Expert and Today Show Contributor on Parenting.

A story about a boy learning to manage his fears of social situations and criticism. He uses the acronym BRAVE, which stands for be ready and victory's easy; to plan ahead for difficult situations at school and home.

Back Cover: Danny, a fifth grader, is bombarded with real and imagined problems. As if school itself wasn't stressful enough, a long speech is required, which feels impossible to him. The only way to get out of giving the speech is to win the science contest. When he's paired with Jack, the goof-off kid in class, he's doomed. Bus stop terrors, lunchtime woes, and dealing with his mean older brother add to his stress. Then disaster strikes! His usual coping strategies are no longer working. What will he do?
