Why Some People Rely on You Too Much

Why does the same person always seem to need you? Why does their distress feel like your responsibility — and why is it so hard to step back?

In Why Some People Rely on You Too Much, Louise Blount traces the psychological roots of excessive dependence: the early wounds, the attachment patterns, and the unconscious dynamics that draw certain people together. Compassionate but clear-eyed, this book offers understanding without excuses — and a path toward relationships that nourish rather than deplete.
