Readers will learn what drives them into controlling behavior and
victimhood--and what it takes to pull themselves out, to return to the
healing, faith, and maturity that come with recovery.
Since the publication of Melody Beattie's groundbreaking book
Codependent No More, millions of people have confronted the demons of
codependency. And yet, many in recovery find themselves slipping back
into the old ways that brought them such grief.
In her book Playing It by Heart, Beattie helps readers understand what
drives them back into the grasp of controlling behavior and
victimhood--and what it takes to pull themselves out, to return to the
healing, faith, and maturity that come with a commitment to recovery.
Personal essays, inspiring anecdotes, and prescriptive reminders show
readers how to stop acting out their painful obsessions. Marked by
compassion and keen insight, Playing It by Heart explores the author's
most intense personal lessons and shows readers that, despite setbacks,
recovery is a lifelong opportunity for spiritual growth.
