About this title: The framework used in this revised edition of the best-selling "Breaking Free from the Codependency Trap" differs radically from the prevailing medical definition of codependency as a permanent, progressive and incurable addiction. Rather, the authors identify it as a "developmental fragment" remaining from incomplete developmental tasks during ...

"Codependency from the standpoint that it's caused by developmental trauma and most people have some degree of codependency, and our society as a whole is built on codependent ideas."
"I learned that you do not need others to make you feel happy or also to depend on others for everything in life. Also, I learned that the way you grow up with your parnets molds the person you are today and why you may depend on others for love, support, happiness and a feeling of being wanted."
"Definitely the best book I've read on the subject of co-dependency so far. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there are quite a bit of "new-agey" techniques discussed that just don't fit me. Other than that, this book gives a very in-depth look at co-dependency; how it develops and how to overcome it. It is pretty high-level, going so far as to really get into the effect of co-depency on society and the world in general and how we are programmed into it by dyfunctional families, schools, government, media, movies, etc. The book also touches on counter-dependency, which is the other side of co-dependency, which most books on the subject just lump into possible other symptoms of co-dependcy itself. Luckily the authors also wrote an entire book about counter-depency, which I can't wait to read."
"Co-dependency has become one of those buzzwords for our modern culture. Most of us use the term to describe someone who suffers from alcoholism or drug addiction. Therefore, when we think of co-dependency, we tend to think of programs like AA.
Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap states that possibly 98% of the human population is co-dependent. It's not lack of self control. It's not a disease. It's not even about the alcohol, the drugs, the food, or the people pleasing behaviors.
Co-dependency is merely the way that the mind attempts to adapt to its experiences. In the first six months of life, babies are meant to learn that the world is a safe loving place and that his or her parents will always keep them safe. Once they are assured of these facts, then they can start to explore the world in an increasingly independent way.
Unfortunately, parents aren't perfect. The majority don't even know how to give this sort of unconditional love. Most are too busy worrying about day to day concerns. So for most people, their psychological development gets stuck and they spend the rest of their lives trying to gain (or dampen the need for) that love, acceptance, and security. When they have children, their children continue the same cycle."
