Length: 5 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's summary

John Bradshaw is arguably the most accomplished and well-known leader alive today in the addictions field. He taught us about functional and dysfunctional families, showed us how shame could become toxic and poisonous to our core selves, and helped us understand and heal the wounded, vulnerable "inner child" conceived by, and thriving in, that environment. In Post-Romantic Stress Disorder (PRSD), Bradshaw gives readers a clear explanation of the difference between falling in love, lust, and true love. Based on his research, PRSD is a deeply serious psychological disorder and the cause of 40% of all divorces - divorces that could have been prevented. Every day people throw away perfectly good relationships because they just don't know how to navigate the tides, but if they could learn and understand the concepts Bradshaw presents in this book, the portrait of the family unit could have a whole new landscape. Join this great teacher as he opens the gates to a new frontier, tackling issues that threaten and endanger so many modern relationships. Be encouraged as he leads the way to a deeper and more fulfilling spiritual union. As he so eruditely observed some time ago, "As the health of the marriage goes, so goes the health of the family." Yet Bradshaw ladles out hope unlimited - if parents could restore a deep, authentic love for each other it could be passed on to their children and families would actually flourish.

Amazingly helpful

Another epic book by John Bradshaw!
Especially helpful for gaining a perspective on the intoxicating aspect of sexual chemistry in relationships.

Wow

I loved the book. It cleared up a hold lot of things for me.

How do you own the world, how do you own disorder?

This was a very interesting listen, indeed!

I am curious if the narrator works with the author to really understand the meaning and emotions meant to be communicated with the listeners.

Although it may have been originally meant as a book to be read, not heard.

Definitely worth a play through. Might even have another listen myself.

a must read

incredible!

Such important principles and truths for sanity and happiness (and a healthy mature relationship)!

Often wanted to note every word

Great information

I am very familiar with John Bradshaw’s books and tapes. He helped me understand and heal my childhood shame and expose the dysfunction of my alcoholic family of origin in the 80”s and 90’s I was unaware of the system of Children of Alcoholics, I was introduced to his work by a therapist. I did private counseling , group counseling and family and marriage counseling. It was transforming. This book is a review and continuation on how I can continue to strengthen my relationships partner of 55 years.

insightful, Irish cowboy

struggled with the narrator and his performance. found his tone more frustrated at times than the author likely intended

Not for everyone

I had originally come across this book in A slew of downloads for relationship traumas. I do believe that this book will and has probably helped quite a few people but unfortunately the close mindedness of Mr. Bradshaw when it comes to how a woman views herself sexually or enjoys her self sexually or how she can attain a healthy relationship without dredging up issues from the past was so far off the mark I had to read the book twice just to make sure that I felt this way.
