Description:Per Mental Health America, over 40 million Americans, mostly women, have actually been diagnosed or labeled as "codependent". In fact, a study using the Beck Depression Inventory and the Codependency Assessment Tool, revealed that 14.4 million (36%) of these Americans were also undergoing simultaneous treatment for depression. The study found that the more they answered "yes" to questions like those below, the more impaired they were by their codependency, and the more severe their depression. The next factors measured in this study were that of self-worth and authenticity. It was found that the lower their self-worth, the more they alienated themselves, the less self-awareness they had, and the more severe their depression was. As a natural continuance, the more severe the depression, the less independent they were, and therefore, the more codependent and debilitating their symptoms were. As you can see, it's truly a vicious circle. Codependent relationships can be between friends, romantic partners, or family members and often, the relationship includes emotional, verbal, or physical abuse. Friends and family members of a codependent person often recognize that something is wrong but will often not try to help because they would lose their "benefits" should the codependent person become healthy. Like any mental or emotional health issue, treatment requires time and effort, and a strong (but non-enabling and non-codependent) support system, including this book.ARE YOU CODEPENDENT? Ask yourself…1. Do you do almost anything you can to avoid arguments?2. Are you overly-concered about others’ opinions of you?3. Have you ever lived with an addict (drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, etc.)?4. Have you ever lived with someone who physically or emotionally abuses you?5. Have you ever allowed someone to consistently verbally belittle you?6. Do you have difficulty adjusting to changes at work or home?7. Do you feel rejected when your spouse or partner spend time with their friends?8. Do you doubt your ability to be your genuine, authentic self?9. Are you uncomfortable expressing your true thoughts, feelings and emotions to others?10. Do you feel like a “bad person” when you make a mistake?11. Is it difficult to just say "thank you" when you are complimented or given a gift?12. Do you feel humiliated, guilty, or embarrased when your child or spouse makes a mistake?13. Do you feel that you have to rescue your loved ones because they couldn't make it without you?14. Are you confused about who you are or where you are going with your life?15. Do you have trouble saying “no” when asked for help?16. Do you have trouble asking others for help because you don't wish to inconvenience them?17. Do you have so many things going at once that you can’t really complete any of them with quality?18. Are you often irritated, frustrated, or otherwise upset at your partner’s inability to make changes?19. Do you believe if your partner changed, your relationship problems would be resolved?20. Do you feel like it’s hard for you to be happy, because of things that your partner is doing or not doing?21. Have any of your close relationships ever affected your personal or professional reputation in a negative way?22. Have you ever had to take time off from work because of a relationship in your life?23. Have you ever lost your career or set aside your dreams because of someone else?24. Do you tend to hang on to relationships for way too long - even though others would have already left?25. Do you literally feel that a relationship is slowly killing you and you've lost hope?The more you answered "yes" to the above questions, the more likely you could be co-dependent.The bad news is that the severity of codependency increases when the symptoms go ignored.The good news is that with the right help you can regain control of your life, set and maintain health boundaries, seek-out your authentic and independent self, reach goals, practice your passions, reclaim your career, and much more.That is why this book exists.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
