The book progresses from defining codependency and differentiating it from healthy helping to exploring its roots in family systems. It then provides practical tools for recovery, such as setting boundaries and practicing self-care. A key focus is on building healthy, interdependent relationships where mutual support doesn't sacrifice individual well-being.
By using psychological research, case studies, and exercises, Codependency Explained empowers readers to break free from negative relationship patterns, cultivate healthier communication, and enhance self-worth.
