The Journey from Abandonment to Healing: Turn the End of a Relationship into the Beginning of a New Life by Susan Anderson

4.0

This is one of those books, as most self-help books are, that is amazing and life-changing IF it catches you at the right moment of life and it applies to you. These things happened to line up for me and this book was an enormous help. The reason I bought it was for help with divorce recovery and it did help me deal with my grief and recognize some patterns from my previous relationship that were not good for anyone. More importantly, though, it re-introduced me to myself.

I practiced all the exercises in the book and yes, they did take a little time, but they were enormously enlightening for me. Some of them I only did once and others I keep in my toolbag and pull out whenever I need them. There is still work to be done, but I truly feel like I know myself and my situation better for having read this book and taken its ideas into my life.
