Let Go Now: Embrace Detachment as a Path to Freedom (Codependency, Al-Anon, Meditations)

Wonderful book filled with a wealth of knowledge. Must buy!

Daily read. Insightful for self-reflection and personal growth. All about letting others live their life so you can enjoy the freedom to live your own. Powerful positive message.

A very good book on all of the ways we can detach from what other people want from us, or at least what we think they want. It's a letting go of what we think are expectations from other people. And with that awareness we can choose to interact possibly differently the next time around. It gives us the freedom to not be so controlled by what others want or expect us to do in any given situation. Lots of good examples.

I have had to disengage from a toxic family member, and I needed these affirmations. The book is set up like a daily devotional, which is very effective for those of us who need reassurance that we've done the right thing. It is so easy to feel guilt over detachment. It is so easy to play the "If I'd only done more" game, a subtle form of self-destruction. Years ago a pop-psychology bestselling book was titled "When I Say 'No' I Feel Guilty". Those who need to detach find it very difficult to do so.We need to:-Not suffer guilt because of the actions or reactions of others-Not to allow ourselves to be used or abused by others-Not to do for others what they could do for themselves-Not to manipulate situations so others will do things they ought to do-Not to cover up for anyone’s mistakes or misdeeds-Not to create a crisis, and not to prevent a crisis if it is in the natural course of eventsDetachment is neutral; it’s not about being kind or unkind. It does not imply judgment or condemnation of the person or situation from which we are detaching. It is simply a means that allows us to disengage, to separate ourselves from the adverse effects that another person’s choices can have upon our lives.This is a sadly necessary book.

Thank you, Karen Casey. This book touches me deeply, guides me wisely and helps me to understand and practice a better way to live my life… day by day. This book, when applied is a healing, life saving quest. Bless you forever…

I love the daily journal prompts of this book! It is not something you pick up and read start to finish necessarily, but a daily reminder of guided conversations. It has been very helpful in my life.

Excellent. I’m slowly trying to learn how to detach from someone I badly don’t want to detach from…

Thought provoking daily messages are helping a lot. Really amazing ideas that give me the right amount of things to think about in a day
