How to Love Others Without Losing Yourself

God created us with good desires for love, belonging, companionship, and community. But when we look to other people for the acceptance and unconditional support that only the Lord can provide, these impossible expectations turn our relationships from sources of joy to sources of angst, frustration, and disappointment.

The good news is, you’re not alone in facing these struggles, and God has the power to heal you from them. Christian author Ellen Mary Dykas is here to help guide you out of the painful cycle of relational codependency as you discover how to

• restore Jesus’s place at the center of your focus
• release feelings of shame and self-judgement
• cultivate holy and healthy Christ-centered connections with others
• experience the blessing of community untainted by the anxieties of codependence

As Christians, our relationships are a gift that can nudge us closer to God or pull us away from him. Let this book provide you with a path for hope-filled self-reflection as you regain a right view of the beautiful gifts God has given you through other people.
