"This was the best description I have ever heard of my own background and the coping mechanisms I developed in response. The specifics are different, but the general patterns he describes of how people in his life impacted how he felt about himself and how he responded, and how those patterns reinforced themselves over time fit like a glove from my perspective."

​

"I read Codependent No More about seven years ago and it didn’t really help me make any changes in my life. This book (and the podcast) has offered me so much more - it has helped me make sense of my own experiences and be more compassionate with myself. Most of all, it has offered me hope that I too can overcome trauma and shame and find love. And I have! I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with codependency or related behaviors. Reading about Brian’s efforts will help you do the work."

​

"I’ve read books on codependency, watched videos on codependency, been to Coda and therapy and this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone articulate their experience in a way that I can relate to."

​

"I have been on my journey to healing from codependency for the past five years. I have read many books and followed many podcasts on this subject. This has been the most helpful to me. It has given me words that pinpoint exactly how I feel and helped me go deeper in the causes of my codependent behaviors."

​

Follow Brian's transformative journey from codependency and despair to joyful, fulfilling and sustaining relationships. Gain invaluable guidance into examining your own life and crafting a personalized pathway to heal from codependency and trauma.
