"This dance of Codependence is a dance of dysfunctional relationships - of relationships that do not work to meet our needs.  That does not mean just romantic relationships, or family relationships, or even human relationships in general.  The fact that dysfunction exists in our romantic, family, and human relationships is a symptom of the dysfunction that exists in our relationship with life - with being human.  It is a symptom of the dysfunction which exists in our relationships with ourselves as human beings."

"The point that I am making is that our understanding of Codependence has evolved to realizing that this is not just about some dysfunctional families, our very role models, our prototypes, are dysfunctional. Our traditional cultural concepts of what a man is, of what a woman is, are twisted, distorted, almost comically bloated stereotypes of what masculine and feminine really are."

"In order to start be-ing in the moment in a healthy, age-appropriate way it is necessary to heal our "inner child."  The inner child we need to heal is actually our "inner children" who have been running our lives because we have been unconsciously reacting to life out of the emotional wounds and attitudes, the old tapes, of our childhoods." - Quotations in this color are from Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls by Robert Burney

Joyously Inspiriational Spiritual Book - Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls

Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls

A Cosmic Perspective on Codependence and the Human Condition

by Robert Burney

Spiritual Teacher and Codependency Therapist Robert Burney, whose work has been compared to John Bradshaw's "except much more spiritual" and described as "taking inner child healing to a new level," has developed a unique approach to emotional healing that is the next level of recovery from codependency so many people have been seeking.  He has pioneered an inner child healing paradigm that offers a powerful, life changing formula for integrating Love, Spiritual Truth, and intellectual knowledge of healthy behavior into one's emotional experience of life - a blueprint for individuals to transform their core relationship with self and life.

Robert, whose work is firmly grounded on twelve step spiritual principles and emotional energy release / grief process therapy, learned in his own personal recovery that developing internal boundaries was the key to empowerment and freedom from the past.  His unique approach and application of the concept of internal boundaries, coupled with a Loving spiritual belief system, make the work innovative and powerfully life changing.

In his book Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls "A Cosmic Perspective on Codependence and the Human Condition" he postulates that Codependence (i.e. outer or external dependence) is The Human Condition - and that we have now entered a new Age of Healing and Joy in which it is possible to heal the planet through healing our relationships with self.  He combines Twelve Step Recovery Principles, Metaphysical Truth, and Native American Spirituality with quantum physics and molecular biology in presenting his belief that we are all connected, we are all extensions of the Divine, and that ultimately Love is our True essence.  His personal Spiritual beliefs - which embrace both Christ Consciousness and Goddess Energy - is that we are Spiritual Beings having a human experience that is unfolding perfectly from a Cosmic perspective.  He considers spirituality to be a word that describes one's relationship with life - and anyone, regardless of religious/spiritual belief or lack of it (who is not completely closed minded), can apply the approach he shares in his book to help them transform their experience of life into an easier, more Loving and enjoyable journey.

If you want to learn how to relax and enjoy life in the moment while you are healing and learning to Love your self - this book can help you transform your relationship with self, life, and other people.

"I have made more progress on a personal level in the few weeks I have had Robert's book and tape than in the preceding eight plus years when I first found out what codependency was." 

"I just read your wonderful book, thank you for writing it. I have been a spiritual teacher since childhood, however, your book let me organize my thoughts a new way, a new perspective. I now have a much deeper understanding and am still learning from it. Dance, is one of the truly transformational works of our time thanks again"

new audio New December 2012  Announcing that a new audio version of Codependence The Dance of Wounded Souls A Cosmic Perspective of Codependence and the Human Condition is now available on audible.com

This is a literal audio book with another narrator - not the audio that I did myself which was slightly abridged.  I think that the narrator did a good job - but of course it doesn't have the passion and the points of emphasis that the one I did has.  As one person's feedback stated about my version:

"The audio version is absolutely a mind-blowing audio spiritual experience! You rock, man!! It's one thing to read the articles on the clinically electric computer screen and completely another level of involvement hearing the man himself utter his own words of wisdom and spiritual alchemy. One can tell that you aren't just mumbling through a book you've written; while listening it becomes certain that the message truly is your spiritual truth and not just some neatly packaged intellectual mind job disguising itself in spiritual language. An enormous THANK YOU for sharing your story and perspective for all the world to see, I truly appreciate it, man!"  
The version that I did is for sale as an MP3 download.

This is a process level - how to - book about the inner child healing approach discovered by Robert in his recovery.  The approach to inner child / emotional healing shared within is the missing piece - the missing perspective - of the puzzle of life that so many people have been seeking.  It is a formula for integrating intellectual knowledge and spiritual Truth into one's emotional relationship with life.   It is the key to learning how to be more Loving to your self - and to turning life into an adventure to be experienced instead of an ordeal of suffering to be endured.

"This book is a compilation of my writings.  I have built this book around a 23 articles series that I wrote for an internet directory (which I had been selling as a spiral bound booklet.)  To those 23 articles (some of which I have added to or expanded upon in the new book) I have added 8 of my web articles, an excerpt from one of the online books in a subscription site, and a handout I use in my Intensive Training Workshops.  The 23 articles were around 27,000 words - while the additional material added another 35,000 or so words to this book.  This is not a workbook per se (although it is workbook size 8 1/2 x 11), but it does contain assignments and exercises, tools and techniques, as well as invaluable insights into the approach that I discovered and developed for inner healing that works in a powerful, effective way to change the quality of an individuals life experience for the better." - Robert Burney
"I am re-reading Codependency Recovery: Wounded Souls, Dancing in The Light.  It is the best and my hat is off to you for this enlightening work.  In sharing your personal experiences it opens a wealth of self knowledge to me when reading."

"Your books are two of the most important books I have ever read. The advice has been life changing - thank you."

"I just really want to thank you for writing your books on codependency. Most of the time you read books, and think, "Yeah, that makes sense, I SHOULD think that way."  Your books do something completely different. You have literally changed the way I think AS I have read your books. It just clicks, flawlessly. I am a completely different person than I was a month ago. Every day I grow and change for the better.  Thank you, thank you, a million times."

"I read your book on healing the inner child.  The last one (Codependency Recovery: Wounded Souls Dancing in The Light  Book 1 Empowerment, Freedom, and Inner Peace through Inner Child Healing.)  I've only just come across your work in the last month and I've benefited so much from your wisdom and insight I want to thank you and express my heartfelt (was crying a lot) gratitude that now I feel I'm not a total mystery to myself any more. "

In alignment with my policy of making the prices on my site about $2 less than retail, I am pricing the new book at $26 plus shipping.

The title of this book: Romantic Relationships ~ The Greatest Arena for Spiritual & Emotional Growth - is a Truth that it is vital to recognize if you ever want to have a functional romantic relationship.  We were set up to fail in romantic relationships by the dysfunctional perspectives and expectations of love and romance we learned growing up.  It is very important to start realizing how we were set up, so that we can change our attitudes, definitions, and expectations of romantic relationships into ones that are more functional - into ones that can help us start learning how to approach love and romance in healthier ways.  It is important to realize that our patterns in relationships, especially romantic relationships - although normal in a dysfunctional society - are not normal, natural interaction patterns, they are dysfunctional inter-reaction patterns caused by codependency, by our childhood emotional wounding and intellectual programming.  And it is vital to start learning how to behave in a healthy loving way in relationships so that we can give our self the gift of being available for a romantic relationship that can be a great adventure with someone else who is also working on learning how to be healthier.

You can learn to be more loving to your self and open to the possibility of having a loving interdependent relationship with another person.  Loving is the greatest adventure available to us - give your self a chance to experience how wonderful it can be by being willing to do the work to change your programming and heal your emotional wounds.  It is very much worth it to learn to love - and reading this book could be a huge step in helping you to become available to have a healthier romantic relationship.

This book is a primarily a compilation of writings from my website that I have edited, rewritten and expanded upon to fit together in this work - that expansion ended up involving writing another 30,000 or so new words to add to those web articles.

"I've had the privilege of reading your book. I absolutely love it. You have an amazing perspective on romantic relationships and healing. I can relate to a lot of your experiences in love and I have to agree romantic relationships are truly the greatest arenas for emotional and spiritual growth. The current relationship I'm involved in has been that vehicle for me. It has helped me grow in leaps and bounds. Your work has had a huge impact on my view of romantic relationships. Thank you for your beautiful message and for this great book. So many people are going to receive healing from it."

" . . .She had bought the tapes for him because he had a terminal illness.  She told me again how important those tapes were to him, and how he had listened to them over and over again in the last months of his life.   She said they were the only thing he wanted to listen to - and again expressed her gratitude to me for how much my words had helped her husband find peace and serenity while he was in the process of dying." - Update Announcement 10-20-00

"The wars outside of us are a reflection of the war within.  Humans have been at war within and without for thousands of years.  The wars, the violence, the rape of mother Earth that is happening, are all caused by the war within being projected outward.

It is all caused by warring on ourselves.  By judging and feeling ashamed of ourselves for being human - and by fighting our own emotional process.

The way to stop the war within is through healing and learning to Love our own inner child/children.  The inner child is the gateway to discovering our True Self - to reconnecting with the Great Spirit.

I have wanted for years to print a bumper sticker that says:

"Work for World Peace - Heal your Inner Child"

Because that is the only way it can be done.  That is the only way that will work."
