Too Much
Are you the person everyone comes to when they're in a jam? Do you regularly accommodate others' needs and preferences? 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, and so on? If these questions resonate, the odds are good that you are one of the overgiving, overextending 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. Terri certainly did. But after years in her therapy practice, she realized that many of her clients were presenting codependent behaviors that fell outside of the classic model. The ironic truth with HFC is that the more capable you are the more codependency doesn't look like codependency. In Too Much, you'll discover how to identify your HFC blueprint (or why you relate to others the way you do), the source of the attraction between codependents and narcissists, and how to cultivate emotional resiliency, practice real self-care, and much more. Each chapter includes tips, self-assessments, and exercises to help you 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. "How you feel, what you think, what you want matters. In fact, those things need to matter to you the most," writes Terri. "By choosing the path of healing and recovery, you are coming home to yourself." Here is a book for making the shift "from too much to just right," so you can live a life that's full of authenticity, freedom, and joy.
Too Much
When you hear the word “codependent,” you might think of the traditional enabler framework involving a hapless victim and their selfless rescuer. Psychotherapist and boundary expert Terri Cole certainly did. But after years in her therapy practice, she realized that many of her clients were presenting codependent behaviors that fell outside of the classic model. Terri calls this new paradigm “high-functioning codependency” (HFC). The ironic truth with high-functioning codependency is that the more capable you are, the more your behavior doesn’t actually seem codependent. “As HFCs, our desire to feel at peace often drives us to chronic over-functioning and overinvestment with the loved ones in our lives,” says Terri. “Even with those we don’t love... or sometimes with folks we barely know.” Here, Terri breaks down the characteristics of high-functioning codependency—including how to identify one’s “HFC blueprint”—so you can get more clarity around what’s going on under the surface of your behavior and take steps toward better boundaries, self-care, and integrity. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how you relate to others and the world... with a newfound inner peace. With the teachings and tools in Too Much, now you can break the cycle of overdoing and over-giving and start living a more authentic and joyful life.
