Without You I Am Myself. A Guide to Leaving Unhealthy Attachment and Building Self-Esteem

“I’ll tolerate it and everything will work out,” “I’ll save him,” “He’s just very busy at work…” These are typical excuses for relationships that at first seemed like a fairy tale, but quickly turned into emotional rollercoasters. In this book, Marina Gogueva—a psychologist with 15 years of experience and a business supervisor—explains why breaking dishes and then passionately making up is not love, but codependency; and how, after a traumatic bond, you can get yourself back.

The book offers:

— a plan for how unhealthy attachment develops;

— 60 hidden benefits obtained in a relationship with an abuser;

— personality types that are prone to codependency;

— 6 hooks that prevent you from breaking the bond;

— a step-by-step guide to leaving the relationship.
