Product Description
Like Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's 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, Susan 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're in a relationship where they no longer feel loved. From the first stunning blow to starting over, it provides a complete program for abandonment recovery.
"If there can be a pill to cure the heartbreak of rejection, this book may be it."-- Rabbi Harold Kushner, bestselling author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
In the tradition of Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's On Death and Dying--but dealing with the grief over the loss of a relationship
Helps readers work through the five universal phases of abandonment: shattering, withdrawal, internalizing, rage, lifting
Includes hands-on exercises for managing pain and rediscovering the capacity for love

 Good Insights, 2008-10-05
I recently discovered that my life partner was having an affair. I wanted assurances that what I was experiencing was normal and wanted specific exercises or techniques to deal with my ongoing issues. Anderson fulfilled both of these. I was surprised by Anderson's scientific information regarding the brain; it was really helpful. I also practice a martial art, Aikido, that has emphasis on harmonizing with the energy of the attacker. Anderson outlined some wonderful foundations for harmonizing with abandonment and even used some Japanese and Eastern principles; this made the book especially easy to relate to my situation.

 Not that helpful for me, 2008-08-09
If you are having a really hard time with your self esteem after your separation, this book may really help you out. I bought it about 3 months after being left by my husband of 13 years. I had already done a lot of soul searching and did not feel like I could not go on. I found myself skimming through most of the book and did not find the exercises to be terribly helpful in my situation. It focuses most on getting through the initial shock/pain and low self esteem that is associated with blaming yourself for the whole situation. I was already past the shock and while willing to acknowledge my own mistakes in our marriage, did not feel that the failure was entirely was my fault.

Encouraging and insightful, 2008-08-06
This book is insightful, personal, and well-written. Please take the time to review the Outer Child vs. Inner Child behavior traits listed in this book. You'll probably recognize your own behaviors there. Dr. Anderson also outlines the five stages of hurt by abandonment, and five steps of healing. This book encourages self discovery and emotional recovery. I would reccommend it to anyone who has been through a devastating break-up and/or has experienced feelings of abandonment; and is now ready to start chipping away at the hurt.

The Journey from Abandonment to Healing, 2008-07-10
I enjoyed reading Susan Anderson's book. It was very insightful. Dr. Anderson's book has been recommended to me by many left behind spouses on internet forums dealing with relationships and divorces.
At first I thought I was going to read a run of the mill book about abandonment and all the bad and negatives that comes with that....you know the same old advice everyone gives, "Blah, blah, blah, abandonment's real bad and get on with your life....." But instead of giving me the "get over it advice," I felt I learned much more about myself.
Dr. Anderson's book helped me to open my eyes to my own reality and that I was no stranger to abandonment. I didn't connect that my recent loss/divorce was not my first and that my abandonment extended into my childhood when my father left us when I was a child.
Dr. Anderson's book helped me to deal with my losses and to view my experience as a portal into a new life. I feel the book has helped me to face my greatest fear....abandonment, and to embrace it, accept it, and to move on to a better life without being afraid.
I think once someone has faced their greatest fear and made to deal with it head on ...that person become fearless and it's at that point when that person is truely free to live their life unafraid.
I highly recommend this life changing book.

Changed my life, 2008-05-12
I struggled for years to get over an abusive marriage and the loss of my mother at 9. I picked up this book after a bad relationship in which I was, once again, loved and abandoned. I didn't know I had abandonment issues until I looked at this book. I related to every chapter as I healed from that relationship and let me see that the loss of my mother and other relationships I had left me broken and picking people in my life who would abandon me emotionally again and again. Life's path will circle and repeat until you have awareness and learn to jump off onto another path. Hard to do but well worth it. I'm on my path toward healing now. All the relationships in my life are healthy. My new husband treats me with respect and love like I have never had before. Thankyou Susan Anderson! If you have issues with losing a mother, read "Motherless daughters." Another book that really hit home.
