Melody Beattie

Author · Recovery Writer · Speaker

If you’ve ever put everyone else’s needs before your own, Melody Beattie gave language to that pain. A recovery writer, she became famous for making “codependency” a household word through her bestselling books.

While we no longer use the word “codependency” in my method — we swap it with “antidependent” in older texts and trainings — her insights into self-neglect and over-functioning remain profoundly relevant.

Spotlight: Codependent No More

Topics: Codependence, recovery, daily practices for healing

Noteworthy Ideas: “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.”

What We Use: Her language of codependency (now reframed as antidependence)
