Were you raised by overprotective parents? Is there someone in your life who tries to manipulate you by not allowing you to be who you are and find your own path in life?

It's amazing how much influence our parents and other people have over our lives even after we are adults. Breaking that bond can be painful, but very liberating. As a recovering codependent and former therapist, Irene Watson knows this quite well. She's authored this book to share her life story and help others find their path to healing.

Codependency teaches a person that they have no rights or decision making power. Many times the person ends up being mistreated by others because they won't or can't take up for themselves for fear of getting in trouble.

We all struggle for freedom from time to time whether it is in a situation, a relationship, or internally disentangling from a limited, fear-based belief. How do we learn to speak up for ourselves without exploding when we can take it no longer? How can we set boundaries without hurting someone's feelings or should we love ourselves enough not to care what others think? Where is the balance?

If you are in a situation where your emotional life is being snuffed out, The Sitting Swing will help you begin your path to healing and being the person you truly want to be!
