The Journey from Abandonment to Healing

Surviving Through and Recovering from the Five Stages That Accompany the Loss of Love

De: Susan Anderson

Narrado por: Randye Kaye

Like Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' groundbreaking On Death and Dying, 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, Anderson gives this subject the serious attention it deserves. The Journey from Abandonment to Healing 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 are in a relationship where they no longer feel loved. From the first stunning blow to starting over, this book provides a complete program for abandonment recovery.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"If there can be a pill to cure the heartbreak of rejection, this book may be it." ---Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

finally! A book for our particular type of grief

Should be a mandatory reading for all mental health professionals. one size grief doesn't fit all.

Wow, so very insightful

I never could place my finger upon what I was feeling, at times I thought I had some serious mental problem or deficiency maybe deep depression or anxiety or both and didn’t know where to turn for help. Until I found this book. Now I finally feel like I’m not alone and that what I’m feeling isn’t some rare mental problem I’m having. I now have some tools to help me cope and work through how I’m feeling. I have PTSD of Abandonment and it is overwhelming much of the time. Listening to this audiobook and truly following along makes me feel relief. I am so thankful I came across this book and insight.

Here: recover from your loss

Appropriate content to understand, practice, heal most any form of relationship loss.

Reveals and vividly describes silent, intense, seemingly hopeless agony that sufferers often conceal, which can drag one down into depths of loneliness and shame for not being as resilient as we feel we "should" be.

Personally, I preferred the first and last thirds of this book. I blame my lack of connection with adopting "inner child" practice techniques on my own stubbornness, but feel there is real value in the practice itself (I use similar, but different practice).

We all suffer relationship loss at some time in life, which makes this book universally valuable to read and recommend. Ie, it's not just for people who have been abandoned in the traditional vernacular.

Must read

This is a healthy book to read and help anyone grow from the past. I definitely Recommend to anyone holding onto the past.

Great Explanation and examples

Very well read and it provided great examples of how Abandonment looks like. Each step for healing explained very well.

Enlightening for the Troubled Heart

I listened to this book on my daily walks with my dog following a breakup. It was transformative and enlightening for it opened my eyes to my own behaviors and feeling of abandonment. This book is wonderful for anyone wanting to learn about themselves and grow or the curious reader/listener. I believe this book is a gateway to all who wish to improve their own relationships.

I cried so hard for so much of this!

FINALLY! Explanations for why I feel panic every time I get close to someone, why my body reacts the way it does. I am gay and was raised in a fundamentalist Christian group, the threat of 'if you're gay, I'll disown you ' was always spoken.
At 34, I'm finally learning how to love that little boy inside who only wanted to be loved for who he was. Thank you so much!

Great book

I have listened to this book on repeat. I am thankful that I found it.

Excellent
