This Is Me Letting You Go

By: Heidi Priebe

Narrated by: Devon Sorvari

Length: 2 hrs and 42 mins

Publisher's summary

Letting go is not a process that comes naturally to us. In a world that teaches us to cling to what we love at all costs, there is an undeniable art to moving on - and it's one that we are constantly relearning. In this series of honest and poignant essays, Heidi Priebe explores the harsh reality of what it means to let go of the people and situations we love most - often before we are ready to - and how to embrace what comes next.

Not for me

Was more like a love story. Did not encourage strength of letting someone go, but instead ruminated on and on about loving and missing someone.

Letting go means letting go, not constantly reminiscing about the one you're letting go of. I'm sorry but I would not recommend.

Didn't think it was possible to feel WORSE

Bought this book thinking it would be helpful and it only made me feel worse. This book is like listening to a person's diary when they were broken up with. Couldn't even get through the first 15 minutes. I will be returning it.

This has nothing to do with let go

It’s contradiction after contradiction. She’s a good writer but these chapters don’t go together or help with letting go of someone. Maybe it’s me but I don’t understand how anyone found this helpful and not more depressing about ending a relationship.

I wish I didn't buy this

it didn't help me out at all! I need a book about men using me and playing with my emotions I don't trust men anymore

Eh

I had emotional moments. I think I was looking for more of a how to rather than hearing about what seems to be her experiences.

Enh

I regret having spent money on this. I listened to the whole thing waiting for that meaningful bit that never came. Some of it seemed on target, but I feel this is more of the author’s personal perspective and much of it wasn’t relevant to me.

In my pain

This was the second book I bought in this category. The book helped me process my pain. Some days I'm fine other days I'm a total mess, wondering if it was my fault. I appreciated the narrator, her voice was comforting and when I found my self drifting back into the abyss of sadness I turn this book on. I keep looking for his texts or waiting on his phone calls and I don't know why. But this author's point of view is helping me get stronger day by day.

Partly Poignant meets Cheesy Fairy Tale Ideology

There were some really good points made about life and becoming strong and complete in who you are in singularity. But then she would totally lose me. It may be that she is targeting a specific audience; one that seemed to be for young college girls lost and heartbroken in a fantasy love cycle. I would have enjoyed it more if she presented to a broader spectrum of women. I suggest perusing through and taking from it the bits that are useful. I was literally gagging on several chapters though.

this book sucks

doesn't really help you to let go,mainly comes across as if you should be casual and not fall in love ...kind of felt worse after

Loved it!

Great book. I laughed and cried. For Anyone on this painful path this book will make you smile.
The chapters are a great reference. I skip through and listen often. Narrator is easy to engage with. Definitely recommend!

just what I needed

this book helped me accept the end of my relationship to someone I can't imagine seeing everyday for rest of my life

Warm and therapeutic

I saw the description and had to buy it. Worth it. Its like a heart to heart with a best (wise) friend at every stage of dating/relationships.

written for young people

The writer still holds on to her first lover in every word she writes...so its hard to believe she is letting go. Not a book for mothers/ wifes who have to let go of a husband.

Fantastic little chapters that put things in perspective

I absolutely loved this book. It really put things in perspective, I especially liked the chapter on the wrong timing, not receiving that good morning text, and leaving a good thing behind - to look forward. Highly recommend this already revisited twice to hear some of the things again.

Just what I needed to hear!

This book is brilliant. It's just what I needed at this time. I'm going to go back and keep listening to it until the message really gets in my head. Thank you!

This is me not letting go!

This book may help some people but I found it a little boring. The writer clearly had not let Go!

it was ok

it was ok. it wasn't great and I don't feel it helped in anyway.
it reads as someone who's still in love with their ex more so than someone who's letting them go.

somewhat helpful

somewhat helpful to reflect and provide perspective for what I am going through, though I am probably not the intended audience

Disappointing

I guess I am just not of the intended audience of this book.
If I were a female person in my late teens or mid-twenties suffering the pangs of an unhappy love affair I might find some kind of solace in this messages in this book.

However, as we journey further on in life, we suffer other heartbreaks that are far more profound than those of broken romances.

I speak of the loss of parents, siblings and even children. Against these more deep, more grievous sufferings, the messages in this book answer not, and in fact seek rather superficial and self-indulgent.

Like someone reading a list…

I’m a practicing therapist so always interested in books like this. Sadly this one is poor and operates on a very shallow level. The chapters slowly become more and more monotonous, like someone is reading from a tick list. So….I let go of it. I suggest you do too if you’re seeking some kind of educational and psychological awareness on the subject of attachment and why it’s hard to give certain people up.
