Publisher’s Summary

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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying

5/5 stars — “A critical read for every adult!”
Experiencing major life events in my recent past, both personally and alongside my close friends on their journeys, I finally understood a common thread among us all. Every human has undergone some level of trauma in their childhood that impacts the way they live as adults. Pain is relative to each of us, and its incremental impacts affect each of us so differently. There are 3 key approaches Susan Anderson used in this book that makes it a must-read for every adult:
1) Her scientific explanations behind cause and effect of abandonment could help our culture be more attentive to the way it contributes to mental health
2) She provides a wide variety of examples to help everyone relate their own experiences to each of the 5 stages of abandonment.
3) There’s a simple and clear healing path with an explanation for each component that provides specific examples on how to accomplish each task.

Please read, apply to your journey and pay it forward!

5/5 stars — “Powerhouse Info”
A must read for those that just don’t feel, believe or trust that "love" thing as it’s a real eyeopener as to the whys. Found myself deliberately repeating each chapter so as to not miss a thing.
