Publisher’s Summary

From a leading voice on recovering from toxic relationships, a deeply insightful guide to getting back to your “old self” again–in order to truly heal and move on.

Jackson MacKenzie has helped millions of readers in their struggle to understand the experience of toxic relationships. His first book, Psychopath Free, explained how to identify and survive the immediate situation. In this highly anticipated new audiobook, he guides listeners on what to do next–how to fully heal from abuse in order to find love and acceptance for the self and others.

Through his work with thousands of survivors of abusive relationships, Jackson discovered that survivors frequently have symptoms of trauma lasting long after the relationship is over. These may include feelings of numbness and emptiness, depression, mood swings, isolation, perfectionism, rumination, caretaking and people-pleasing, a need for control, physical maladies, substance abuse, and more.

But he also found that it is possible to work through these symptoms and find fulfillment and love on the other side. In Whole Again, he shares insights and tools for working through the protective self we’ve developed, so that we can finally move on to live a full and authentic life–to once again feel light, free, whole, and ready to give and receive love.

Like Brené Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection and John Bradshaw’s Healing the Shame that Binds You, Whole Again offers hope and multiple strategies to anyone who has survived a toxic relationship, as well as anyone suffering the effects of a breakup involving lying, cheating and other forms of abuse–to release old wounds and safely let the love back inside where it belongs.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying

5/5 stars — “Thank you”
Thank you for explaining in words that really connect and make sense. This book truly describes what I’ve experienced like none other. On my healing journey….

— Robin M., Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Sage, Compassionate Resource Useful to Many”
I can’t give this review the time it deserves right now and wish I could. In short, I gained so much from this book, especially listening to it soon after Psychopath Free. I am on my own journey of recognizing, being trapped in, extracting from, and reflecting on my own emotional abuse, both as a child and as an adult. Both books provided much needed validation and resonance. And I needed the harder stance of the first to get to the greater nuance of the second. I’m in the earlier stages of what I hope will be a similar evolution and am grateful to Jackson for all he has shared so candidly and generously. His vast understanding of personality disorders, codependency, CPTSD, and psychology more generally. His own ever evolving journey on the path of healing from narcissistic abuse. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that he’s a fantastic writer, too. Thank you.

— Jeanette G Brown, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “changed my mind, hopefully will change my life!”
i feel relieved already, i love how this book provide examples, in my own experiences, all emotional advices seem to be unpractical and only theoretical, here in this book i can reflect each and every line on me and my relationship.
