Product Description
Like Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's groundbreaking iOn Death and Dying/i, Susan Anderson's book clearly defines the five phases of a different kind of grieving--grieving over a lost relationship. An experienced professional who has specialized in helping people with loss, heartbreak, and abandonment for more than two decades, Susan Anderson gives this subject the serious attention it deserves. iThe Journey From Abandonment to Healing/i is designed to help all victims of emotional breakups--whether they are suffering from a recent loss, or a lingering wound from the past; whether they are caught up in patterns that sabotage their own relationships, or they're in a relationship where they no longer feel loved. From the first stunning blow to starting over, it provides a complete program for abandonment recovery. brbr"If there can be a pill to cure the heartbreak of rejection, this book may be it."-- Rabbi Harold Kushner, bestselling author of iWhen Bad Things Happen to Good People/ibrbr In the tradition of Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's iOn Death and Dying/i--but dealing with the grief over the loss of a relationshipbr Helps readers work through the five universal phases of abandonment: shattering, withdrawal, internalizing, rage, liftingbr Includes hands-on exercises for managing pain and rediscovering the capacity for love

Excellent! November 24, 2008
Years of loss, rejection, abandonment?....this book is for you! Easy to read and understand - allows for healing and understanding. Some of the exercises are good, but did not do all of them - combined this book with Eckhart Tolle, "power of now".br /All is well, NOW!

A true understanding of the pain of abandonment October 28, 2008
The author has done an incredible job of explaining the pain of abandonment and giving great insight into the damage it causes and the steps necessary to heal. A must read for anyone who is overwhelmed by grief due to losing someone, either from a breakup, move or death. We have since purchased several copies to give to others suffering from abandonment. Worth every penny!!! Read Black Swan first!

Good Insights October 5, 2008
I recently discovered that my life partner was having an affair. I wanted assurances that what I was experiencing was normal and wanted specific exercises or techniques to deal with my ongoing issues. Anderson fulfilled both of these. I was surprised by Anderson's scientific information regarding the brain; it was really helpful. I also practice a martial art, Aikido, that has emphasis on harmonizing with the energy of the attacker. Anderson outlined some wonderful foundations for harmonizing with abandonment and even used some Japanese and Eastern principles; this made the book especially easy to relate to my situation.

Not that helpful for me August 9, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

If you are having a really hard time with your self esteem after your separation, this book may really help you out. I bought it about 3 months after being left by my husband of 13 years. I had already done a lot of soul searching and did not feel like I could not go on. I found myself skimming through most of the book and did not find the exercises to be terribly helpful in my situation. It focuses most on getting through the initial shock/pain and low self esteem that is associated with blaming yourself for the whole situation. I was already past the shock and while willing to acknowledge my own mistakes in our marriage, did not feel that the failure was entirely was my fault.

Encouraging and insightful August 6, 2008
This book is insightful, personal, and well-written. Please take the time to review the Outer Child vs. Inner Child behavior traits listed in this book. You'll probably recognize your own behaviors there. Dr. Anderson also outlines the five stages of hurt by abandonment, and five steps of healing. This book encourages self discovery and emotional recovery. I would reccommend it to anyone who has been through a devastating break-up and/or has experienced feelings of abandonment; and is now ready to start chipping away at the hurt.
