"Karen Casey captures the experience, strength, and hope that are essential to maintaining healthy relationships with each other and with ourselves." William C. Moyers, author of Broken--Reviews

"In this helpful and healing paperback, Casey explores the problem of codependency, which is when we 'spend our entire life letting the actions or words or mere glances of others trigger my behavior, feelings, my attitude, my selfassessment, and thus my plan for each day, as well as my imagined future.' An antidote to this powerlessness is detachment which she defines as 'the ability to care deeply about a situation or another person from an objective point of view. We are able to care but not be controlled by or invested in how another person responds to us.'" Fred Brussat, www.SpiritualityandPractice.com--Reviews

Reseña del editor

Codependency--living as if what others think matters more than what we think, and trying to please or change othersis an insidious and pervasive addiction. And there is a simple way out of it: detachment.

In Codependence and the Power of Detachment, bestselling author Karen Casey shares her story and the story of others who have suffered from codependency. Based on the insights and tools she's discovered during her many years of sobriety to address codependency, Casey takes readers through the steps of detaching from a bad situation: admitting the attachment, surrendering the outcome, forgiving, and focusing attention on what works. She describes how to pay attention, be aware, and take care of ourselves, and let others--husbands, family, and coworkers--become accountable for themselves.

Codependence and the Power of Detachment shows that detachment is a power anyone can claim. It is the power of sanity, of peace, of finding one's own inner strength.
