Quality help for abandonment recovery!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Journey from Abandonment to Healing: Turn the End of a Relationship into the Beginning of a New Life (Paperback)
Dr. Susan Anderson has masterfully articulated the experience of abandonment as only a survivor of abandonment could know. She is a survivor herself. Her book, The Journey From Abandonment To Healing, keeps a gentle, respectful tone towards the survivor, and is easy to understand throughout. This book clearly articulates what I struggled to put into words about the abandonment symptoms I was experiencing. Abandonment is defined as an involuntary separation. Some symptoms include loss of control of the situation, separation anxiety and yearning for the lost love, hoping for the possibility of the lost love's return and the desparation caused by this desire. The book also covers in great detail the physiology behind emotional withdrawal symptoms of abandonment, including the loss of opioids (hormones) which is similar to heroin withdrawal; the significance of extreme changes in appetite patterns; Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; memory loss; the desire to self-medicate to endure the loss; and how society acknowledges those grieving over a death but not over a lost love. Finally, Dr. Anderson gives some effective exercises in overcoming the crippling symptoms of abandonment. The exercises are not "pat" answers as found in some mainstream books and magazines. These are extensive, healing exercises requiring vulnerable, self-introspection. I hope this helps someone else out there, too. It sure saved my sanity and all for the modest price of a book -- not an expensive block of therapy sessions!

I found myself very alone during my break-up. This book helped to validate the feelings I had and explain the psychological and physical trauma of my loss. It is very helpful for those needing explanations and guidance through a tough time.

The Journey from Abandonment to Healing,
By cstein (Minneapolis, Minnesota. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Journey from Abandonment to Healing: Turn the End of a Relationship into the Beginning of a New Life (Paperback)
Susan is an abandonment "survivor" as well as a therapist her insights are key to the success of this book. The message is clear, and the excersies helpful. The reader reachs a fullness and happiness within their lives by reaching out to the key player, themselves.I have read many books over the last year to heal my emotional wounds. This book picks up where all the others left off. The material is helpful, eye opening and the awareness level of the reader is blown wide open. My reaction was "WOW!" she is speaking to me.
