The Codependent No More Workbook was designed for Beattie fans spanning the generations, as well as for those who may not yet even understand the meaning and impact of their codependency.  In this accessible and engaging workbook, Beattie uses her trademark down-to-earth style to offer readers an interactive program to stop obsessing about others by developing the insight, strength, and resilience to start taking care of themselves.

Through hands-on journaling, exercises, and self-tests, readers will learn to integrate the time-tested concepts outlined in Codependent No More into their daily lives by

1. setting and enforcing healthy limits

2. learning empowering ways to give and nurture

3. experiencing genuine love and forgiveness

4. letting go and detaching from others’ harmful behaviors

Whether fixated on a loved one with depression, an addiction, an eating disorder, self-destructive behaviors, or someone who makes unhealthy decisions, this book offers the practical means to plot a comprehensive, personalized path to hope, healing, and the freedom to be your own best self.

THE THERAPY CRISIS – Each year, millions of people enter therapy hoping and believing they’ll be helped—but studies show that many aren’t being helped. In fact, some patients find they are struggling with more emotional problems than before. Too many people end up stuck in therapy year after year, for no good reason at all.

THE REVOLUTION - Richard Zwolinski, a licensed mental health counselor and expert on anxiety and addiction, is a watchdog for professional ethics and patient rights. For more than twenty years he has been helping patients receive the best, most effective care for the least cost in a reasonable amount of time. In Therapy Revolution, Zwolinski puts the therapists on the couch and analyzes their performances. He exposes harmful therapy practices
and shows you exactly what you need to do to find a therapist who is ethical and competent. In this solution-oriented call to action, Zwolinski reveals:

• What some therapists don’t want you to know
• The 2 essential Therapy Tools that every effective therapist must use—
and why you should leave a therapist who refuses to use them
• How you can find, interview, and hire the therapist that’s right for you
• The red flags that indicate therapy isn’t working—and what you need to do
if a therapist breaks the rules
• The 5 fundamental ingredients in the Successful Therapy Formula

THE STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION – Chock-full of shocking, real-life patient interviews, self-assessment questionnaires, numerous checklists that lead to therapy success, therapist interview questions, and more, Therapy Revolution exposes the pitfalls of bad therapy and shows you what good therapy should look like, all while offering practical solutions for making therapy work for you.
