Codependency Workbook – Codependency Recovery Worksheets, Healthy Relationships and Self-Worth (Printable PDF)

You can care about people without carrying their whole lives. This workbook shows you how to hand some of it back.

You're the one everyone leans on, and you can't stop stepping in. Saying no feels selfish, other people's moods decide your day, and your own needs come last or not at all. This workbook helps you see the pattern, sort what's yours from what's theirs, and start meeting your own needs too.

✦ WHO THIS IS FOR

Adults who take responsibility for other people's feelings and problems — rescuing, fixing, over-giving and losing track of their own needs — who want to care about people without disappearing in the process.

✦ THE SELF METHOD — HOW IT WORKS

A four-step practice for noticing and easing codependent patterns

Step S — Spot the over-functioning: Notice when you jump in to fix, rescue, manage or smooth things over for someone else.
Step E — Examine what's underneath: Name the feeling driving it — fear of conflict, guilt, needing to be needed, fear of being left.
Step L — Let them own it: Hand back what's theirs: their feelings, choices and consequences. Caring doesn't mean carrying.
Step F — Fill your own cup: Meet one of your own needs today, on purpose, before or instead of someone else's.

✦ FOR THE HARD MOMENTS

Toolkit pages to keep handy:
+ What codependency can look like — Recognizing the pattern in everyday life
+ When someone is upset with you — Someone's annoyed, disappointed or angry, and every part of you wants to fix it
+ When you feel the urge to rescue — You're about to step in, lend, fix, cover or take over

✦ WHY THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT

Practical codependency recovery rather than inspirational quotes: a Caretaking Log that asks whose responsibility it really was, a 'Whose Problem Is It?' sorting page, a Needs Inventory, a page on where the pattern started, guilt reframes, and toolkits for when someone is upset with you or you feel the pull to rescue.
