About this listen
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.

Story
Chances are, you've already had run-ins with your Outer Child - the self-sabotaging, bungling, and impulsive part of your personality. This misguided, hidden nemesis blows your diet, overspends, and ruins your love life. Your Outer Child acts out and fulfills your legitimate childlike needs and wants in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in counterproductive ways: It goes for immediate gratification and the quick fix in spite of your best-laid plans.

Everyone thrives on love, comfort, and the safety of family, friends, and community. But if you are denied these basic comforts early in life through a lack of physical affection or emotional bonding, you may develop intense fears of abandonment that can last well into adulthood - fears so powerful that they can actually cause you to push people away. If you suffer from fears of abandonment, you may have underlying feelings of anger, shame, fear, anxiety, depression, and grief.

The causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse.

This book is a practical guide to recovering from lingering childhood trauma. It is copiously illustrated with examples of the author's and his clients' journeys of recovering.

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life is a no-nonsense self-help guide for anyone who has ever been cheated on. Here's advice not based on saving your relationship after infidelity - but saving your sanity. When it comes to cheating, a lot of the attention is focused on cheaters - their unmet needs or their challenges with monogamy. But Tracy Schorn (aka Chump Lady) lampoons such blameshifting and puts the focus squarely on the cheated-upon (chumps) and their needs.

If you were raised to believe that painful emotions are a sign of weakness, or if being vulnerable has always made you feel unsafe, then you may have survived by creating a perfect-looking life - a life where you appear to be successful, engaged, and always there for others. The problem? You're filled with self-criticism and shame, and you can't allow yourself to express fear, anger, loss, or grief. You recognize something is wrong, but you're not sure what exactly - only that you feel trapped and alone. If this sounds like you, you may have perfectly hidden depression (PHD).

We humans tend to get in our own way time and time again - whether it comes to not speaking up for ourselves, going back to bad romantic partners, our umpteenth diet, or engaging in any of a range of bad habits we just can’t seem to shake. In Rewire, renowned psychotherapist Richard O’Connor, PhD, reveals why our bad habits die so hard. We have two brains - one a thoughtful, conscious, deliberative self, and the other an automatic self that does most of the work without our attention.

Your Outer Child acts out and fulfills your legitimate childlike needs and wants in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in counterproductive ways: It goes for immediate gratification and the quick fix in spite of your best-laid plans.

Within every community, toxic people can be found hiding in families, couples, companies, and places of worship. The cryptic nature of psychological abuse involves repetitious mind games played by one individual or a group of people. Psychological abuse leaves no bruises. There are no broken bones. There are no holes in the walls. The bruises, brokenness, and holes are held tightly within the target of the abuse.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Love It! Food for the soul.
The author is right on point. The best book on the subject I have found. A complete work to give you a springboard to leap into future happiness within and without. A must read for anyone who has ever been abandoned.
