Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Zan, Would recommend some books: Pia Mellody, " Facing Codependence " and the workbook that goes with it " Breaking Free. " Pia looks at codependence as a broken relationship with the self. Also Charles Whitfield is VERY good, his books. Also Mellody Beattie, " Codependents Guide To The Twelve Steps. " She also has a daily meditation book too, along with some other codependency books. The only thing I have found with studying psychology on any topic is that they don't believe that your feelings have any effect on your health physically or mentally, so they urge you to feel all your feelings and negative ones -- as much as you like. If done regularly, in my opinion, it can then become an unsavory habit of the mind, one that is difficult then to gain control over again, if it gets into a negative pattern. Also I know that negative emotions are very damaging to the people harboring them and the ones aroung them. For me, I look at the material and weigh it against what I believe spiritually and then take the good ideas from it. : ) Christine Kundalini-Yoga , " susanjacobs460 " <susanjacobs460 wrote: > > sat nam, > > does anyone have suggestions on how to break codependency in a > relationship? > > many thanks, > > zan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 The 80 20 rule might help. In any interaction, keep the focus 80 per cent within yourself -- what am I feeling? What's happening in my body, and mind? What do I need? Is there something I need to do? The 20 per cent can be focused on the other, with the benefit of your self awareness. Good luck.Love,Jagat Kaur Never miss a thing. Make your homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
