Help Is On Its Way: A Memoir About Growing Up Sensitive6 reviews
Jenna Forrest
BookSurge Publishing, 2008
An unbelievably close look at a child's feelings
In this book, Jenna Forrest has really captured a child's view of life in a way that brings us, as adults, back to our own childhood feelings and memories with a clarity most of us have likely lost.
As a parent, it is refreshing to realize how our own children may perceive things that to adults may seem ordinary or important. I hope to take this perspective into my daily interactions with ...

Co-Dependence: Misunderstood -- Mistreated2 reviews
Anne Wilson Schaef
HarperSanFrancisco, 1990
Cold realities from a warm heart
In a hundred pages Scaef does something truly remarkable. She confronts the self-serving and dangerous side of co-dependency yet maintains a nonjudgmental perspective. Many, many books, of course, discuss the dangers co-dependents present to themselves. This one goes beyond to look at the less comfortable topics of co-dependents' tendency toward manipulation, promotion of disease in others, ...

The Other Side of God: The Eleven Gem Odyssey of Being (Psychological Crisis, Altered States, Alternate ...7 reviews
Susan D. Kalior
Blue Wing Publications, Workshops, and Lectures, 2007
A Gem of a Story
Susan Kalior has given us a wonderful story. She takes us on a journey through love and life, deep inside an unseen world within the mind. Imagine, if you would, a story in the tradition of Castaneda with the addition of unbridled emotion and feelings. Throughout the story I found myself pausing for a while to meditate on the insights that were expressed so well.
Thank you Susan for sharing ...

Enabler: when helping harms3 reviews
Angelyn Miller
Ballantine Books, 1990
The best $4.79 you'll ever spend.
I have always been very protective of my much younger sister, but it was not until I read this book that I realized how destructive my protection was. This is a slim volume--it took me only about 2 hours to read it--but it changed my life and my sister's. Two brief passages from the book sum up its content and purpose. The first is from page 7: "An enabler is one who prevents growth and ...

Awakening in Time : The Journey from Codependence to Co-Creation6 reviews
Jacquelyn Small
Eupsychian Press, 2001
A Book To Experience
When I impulsively bought J. Small's Awakening In Time over five years ago, I had no idea it would become (and continues to be) such an important vehicle of self-realization for me. The guided imagery exercises are powerful tools for growth, understanding and connecting with your higher self. If you are truly opened to finding answers to who you really are, I suggest this book for your ...

Breaking the Code of Codependence1 review
Ph.D. Sharon Joy Ng Hale, 2005
The Author Speaks
A STATEMENT FROM THE AUTHOR:
"I wrote this book because I saw so many people (myself included) who were struggling to find happiness in a relationship. Throughout life, so many of us long for a loving, spiritual connection with another person--someone who values the unique person that we are and who appreciates the person we can become. In addition to finding that special person, there have ...

Thornton Publishing, 2004
Praises for Emma Dawson!
Emma Dawson has written a groundbreaking book that shares her story of liberation from the silence and shame of being married to a sex addict. It is a powerful account of one woman's journey from the depths of silence to a celebration of a powerful voice of healing. It is an inspiration for any woman who has ever found herself in a position of isolation and low self-worth due to being a "keeper" ...

The Gardener and the Wild Rose2 reviews
Colleen Griffin
Colleen Griffin Publishing, 1998
Expectadly Brilliant!
A brilliantly written short story that I can relate to first-hand. People promise and expect a lot, and only when words turn to action are you "happy." As hard as one might try to make happiness, it's only you that can bring happiness to yourself! Ms. Griffin did an excellent job of using the "Rose" as an analogy of her own life and the feelings she took from it. One can learn a lot from ...

Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life 118 reviews
Susan Forward, Craig Buck
Bantam, 2002
This book enabled me to finally cut the umbilical cord
All my life, I've been told by therapists, friends, lovers, my siblings, even my father how unhealthy my relationship with my mother was. I felt this intense obligation to her to the point that it was getting in the way of my life. Guilt followed me around like a dark cloud. I had blocked out large chunks of my childhood not understanding why but just accepting it.
After my father passed away, ...

With Gentleness, Humor and Love: A 12 Step Guide for Adult Children in Recovery1 review
Kathleen W.
Hci, 1988
Inventorying Using the Right Brain
This little book works from Bill W.'s "instincts out of balance" tack (in AA's 12 X 12) to provide many exercises and techniques for getting at buried "hooks" and "triggers" for all sorts of addictive and compulsive patterns. It is a great book for the recovering person who is stuck on an issue -- say, cigarette smoking or perhaps a relationship pattern that always ends up frustrating or ...

Road to Intimacy: Beyond Codependence1 review
Catherine Solange
Warner Books, 1990
the BEST self-help book I've EVER read
I'm waiting and waiting and waiting for this book to come back into stock so that I can order one for myself. I read a borrowed copy which I cannot highlight or underline or write in to remember the MANY passages which really reflect my life and concerns. I have major difficulties with the term "co-dependency," and I had never picked up a book with this term in the title before this one was ...

Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself153 reviews
Melody Beattie
Hazelden, 1992
Extremely helpful
Codependency is far more prevalent then one is aware. My many years in Al-Anon were very helpful but so many unanswered questions were found when I looked at my codependancy issues, that I was unaware of. Many thanks to Melody Beattie's books.

Do Family of Origin Problems Cause Chemical Addiction?: Exploring the Relationship Between Chemical ...1 review
Terence T. Gorski
Herald Publishing House, 2001
Do Family of Origin Problems Cause Chemical Addiction?
This paper discusses the relationship between chemical dependence and codependence. The Harvard Medical School Study of Adult Development, the Personality Studies of Gordon Barnes, and the PAW studies are summarized to provide convincing evidence that codependence does not cause chemical dependence but that it does interfere with recovery and should not be ignored in treatment. Operational ...

Finding the God-Dependent Life: A Personal Story of a Life Transformed by the Secret of 'God-Dependence' over ...1 review
Joanie Yoder
Discovery House Pub, 1992
A life-changing book!
I found this book by accident one day and read it thoroughly and before I was finished I believed that she wrote it just for me. It chronicles the author's progress from a fear-based life to a totally God-dependent life, and she outlines all the steps she worked through at each phase of her progress as God took her through each lesson. She explains how she learned to depend on God rather ...

Jacqueline Castine

May Have Saved My Life
Found this gem in the library. A great addition to "Facing Codependence" tape by Pia Mellody (the famous one)but this book was just as wonderful. Although Ms Castine does not have a psych degree, she has the PHD of life. This is the book I asked God for. I have never read a book this wonderful and life changing. Her experience with her drug addicted son was extremely valuable to me, as I ...
