An empowering new take on codependent behavior, revealing the underlying reasons we struggle with doing it all - and the path to recovery and freedom.
Are you the person everyone comes to when they're in a jam?
Do you regularly accommodate others' needs?
Does it feel like chaos will ensue if you don't handle the travel plans, divvy up the check at group dinners, sort out your friend's latest crisis?
If so, you may be one of the over-giving individuals struggling with what psychotherapist and boundary expert Terri Cole has termed high-functioning codependency (HFC).
When you hear the word codependent, you might think of the traditional enabler framework involving a hapless victim and their selfless rescuer. After years in her therapy practice, Terri realized that many clients were presenting codependent behaviors that fell outside of the classic model.
In Too Much, you'll discover how to identify your HFC blueprint, the source of the attraction between codependents and narcissists, and how to cultivate emotional resiliency and practice real self-care.
Each chapter includes tips, self-assessments and exercises to help transform how you see yourself and the world, avoid relapses and stay centered in your own experience so that you can relate to others in a healthier way.
