Book Study Group ~ The New Co Dependency, by Melody Beattie

Please join us for a thoughtful evening of exploration of the question: What is and what is not codependency?

The New Codependency, which clears up misconceptions about codependency, identifies how codependent behavior has changed, and provides a new generation with a road map to wellness.

Beattie reminds us that much of codependency is normal behavior. It's about crossing lines. There are times we do too much, care too much, feel too little, or overly engage.

Feeling resentment after giving is not the same as heartfelt generosity. Narcissism and self-love, enabling and nurturing, and controlling and setting boundaries are not interchangeable terms.

In The New Codependency, Beattie explores these differences, effectively invoking her own inspiring story and those of others, to empower us to step out of the victim role forever.

Codependency, she shows, is not an illness but rather a series of behaviors that once broken down and analyzed can be successfully combated.
