Breaking Ties
A Journey Through Codependency
This is my story, but you may see parts of your own life reflected in these pages: the quiet wounds, the repeated cycles, the exhaustion of always putting others first.
You don't have to keep earning love, proving your worth, or carrying everyone else’s emotional weight.
For a long time, I did that - until I realised those patterns weren’t who I was, they were behaviours I learned to survive.
If you’ve spent your life shrinking to keep the peace, this book will help you rediscover your voice, rebuild your self‑worth, and create relationships that don’t require you to lose yourself.
At its heart, this book is about recognising the personal behavioural patterns that shape us - and finding the courage to break the ones that keep us small.
Codependency became the framework that finally helped me understand my story, and it may help you to make sense of yours too.
This is a raw, honest journey of unlearning survival, reclaiming your sense of self, and choosing yourself with clarity and compassion.
