Find Boundaries and Peace from Codependent Behaviors
“This book is bound to become a codependence classic. It should be required reading for all who seek to create healthy, balanced relationships.” –Claudia Black, PhD.
Free yourself from codependency and reclaim your sanity, peace, and inner strength with this codependency book by Karen Casey, the bestselling author of Each Day a New Beginning.
Learn how to value your own opinion over those of others. Codependency books are perfect for those of us who live as if what other people think matters more than what we think. This thinking leads to constantly trying to please or even to change others. Codependent behaviors can have negative effects on us and those around us, even leading to a dysfunctional family. It can be difficult to say no to those we love.
A codependency book on improving your life through boundaries and peace. Karen Casey, bestselling author of Let Go Now and Each Day a New Beginning, has had her own experience with codependent behavior, and she is here to share what she has learned along the way. Through her own stories and the stories of those she has met through Al Anon meetings and elsewhere, she shows you how to detach from unhealthy codependency, create more positive relationships and, ultimately, lead a less stressful life.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Recognize and acknowledge your own attachments and codependency
- Set boundaries, find peace, and engage in healthy detachment
- Nurture positive relationships with the people in your life–both new and old
If you liked codependency books such as The Language of Letting Go, Facing Codependence, or The Codependency Recovery Plan, you’ll love Codependence and the Power of Detachment.
About the Author

Karen Casey
I was born in Lafayette, IN and moved to Minneapolis, MN in 1964. I taught elementary school for a few years and then pursued a graduate degree at the University of MN. I graduated with a Ph.D. in 1979. I published my first book, EACH DAY A NEW BEGINNING: DAILY MEDITATIONS FOR WOMEN with Hazelden Publishing in 1982. It has been followed by the publication of 29 other books, the most recent of which is Each Day A Renewed Beginning: Meditations for a Peaceful Journey which was written during the quarantine. These meditations focus entirely on finding greater peace within the moments of each day. See www.womens-spirituality.com for a complete listing and description of each of my books. My focus as a writer is on the development of spiritual growth and strengthening one's twelve step recovery, and my personal experience is what I rely on, coupled with the wisdom I glean from the many people I walk among in the rooms of AA and Al-Anon. When I am not in front of the computer writing, I am likely giving a lecture or doing a workshop some where. I have spoken to tens of thousands world-wide over my 46 year tenure in recovery rooms. From each experience my gratitude grows. And from each experience, my commitment grows to continue doing what brings my life such joy.
