"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
Codependence:
The Dance of Wounded SoulsSpiritual 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 offers a unique and invaluable experience.

"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.

of Wounded Souls "An Audio Spiritual Experience" "I found a link to my site on another web site which commented on how much information I share on the site for free - and said that I share almost my whole book on it. That isn't really true, the sharing the whole book part - although I do share a lot of quotes from my book Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls on the pages of this site. And a person can get a sense of my book from those quotes - but reading it is an experience in and of itself. The thing that I have heard from so
many people is that reading the book - or listening to the audio tapes
- can bring about a shift in a person's relationship with life. That
reading the book can, in and of itself, bring about a change in the music
one is dancing to - can help a person relax and start enjoying life a little
more because their perspective of life and self has shifted into one more
aligned with Love. That is the goal of codependency recovery in my
view - to change the music of our human experience from a dance based upon
shame, fear, and separation to a dance aligned with Joy, Love and ONENESS.
It makes my heart smile to know that I was the instrument in creating a
book that can facilitate a musical metamorphosis in the dance of life for
others." - Codependency Recovery: Wounded

Empowerment, Freedom,
and Inner Peace through Inner Child Healing
January 19, 2010 - In October 2009, I posted a temporary special offers page that included this paragraph: "The first sequel (to Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls) will be entitled Codependency Recovery: Wounded Souls Dancing in The Light Empowerment, Freedom, and Inner Peace through Inner Child Healing and it will be an updated version of the inner child healing pages of the Joy2MeU web site combined with material evolved and refined in doing my Intensive Training workshops and telephone counseling. The articles that will form the core of it are available in E-book from from Suite 101 for $19.95 (E-Book on inner child work) and in a spiral bound hard copy of the 23 articles that make up that e-book. This spiral bound booklet is not something that is available for purchase except to people who attend my Intensive Training Day workshops (and also to people who make a certain level of Donation / Love Offering.) This is the first time that this booklet has been offered for purchase here on the site." This past week someone who had attended my January Intensive Training Seminar (and had purchased the booklet there) gave me some very interesting feedback. She said that if I ever published a new edition of The Dance I should add the inner child healing booklet to it. She said that as much as she had loved The Dance, she was left after reading it with the question of "What exactly do I do now?" - and that this booklet is the perfect compliment to go with the book. In her opinion, the inner child booklet shares information that can help a person get actively involved in the inner child healing even if they don't have a therapist. So, I have decided to add the option of purchasing the booklet with the book - or separately for those who already have my book (this is the first time online that it is being offered for sale individually) Purchase the spiral bound booklet: Empowerment,
Freedom, and Inner Peace through Inner Child Healing
January 19, 2010
- a new batch of CDs arrived today so I am adding an option that includes
the booklet and the CDs on the work in progress

| "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."
