Description

Product Description

Are you in love--or addicted? How to know when to call it quits...and how to find the courage to call it quits.

Are you unable to leave a love relationship even though it gives you more pain than joy? Your judgment and self-respect tell you to end it, but still, to your dismay, you hang on. You are addicted--to a person. Now there is an insightful, step-by-step guide to breaking that addiction--and surviving the split. Drawing on dozens of provocative case histories, psychotherapist Howard Helpern explains to you:

Why you can get addicted to a person.

Why and how you may try to deceive yourself. ("He really loves me, he just doesn't know how to show it.")

How you can recognize the symptoms of a bad relationship.

How to deal with the power moves and guilt trips your partner uses to hold you.

Why strong feelings of jealousy do not mean you are "in love."

How to get through the agonizing breakup period--without going back.

How not to get caught in such a painful relationship again.

I was looking for help with my relationship addiction. This book is so stuffed with mumbo jumbo I couldn't get through the first chapter.

Author: Guest
This book does have some interesting parts. I wanted to see and learn more about myself, but went away without much more than I've already learned. There are some interesting stories about other people, some I could understand, and others I really could not relate. So I gave the four stars if perhaps there are people out there that can relate to the stories of other people.

If you feel you have an addictive personality, then this book might help you to see that pattern. I recommend it for that purpose. Another book that was my saving grace in ridding my "hold" on another person that was just not good to me is Barbara Rose's "Stop Being the String Along". I feel that if you're in pain over a person, you will receive life changing insight. Give both books a try, they can only help you.

Now this is a book i recommend to anyone who is "hooked" on a particular individual. The book is very pragmatic and the exercises are fanitastic at shifting one out of "denial land" and back into "reality" . You will relate to aspects of many of the stories told.

The work on one's childhood is an important process...in the book and the "patterns " these experiences create in us as adults"

I find it astounding that it has taken me until "41" to actually start to grow up and recognise I DONT NEED another person to "FILL ME". As a very important guide suggested to me once:

"Having a person in your life should be a "bonus"

At the time i didnt quite understand what he meant; "NOW I DO"

ALL that you need is within you and once you "heal" the part of you that is ruled by childhood crap i believe you will forever alter into someone who is no longer "needy"

I have had no contact of any form with the person I was addicted to in 7 weeks and this is a "first for me" The space it creates to actually "face your own demons" is painful but profound..

I miss the other person "terribly" and deeply regret our demise. However I have my integrity and dignity intact and i am already a "much different person " to the one that was with him.

There is great pain in this journey. HOwever there is also great change and i know now through lots of work that no relationship is so much much better and healthier than a "destructive relationship"

Highly recommend this book and Cheryl Huber's There's Nothing Wrong With YOu ( also through Amazon )

This book read like a rocket science instruction manual. A waste of time, and will only leave you more confused.

Author: Guest
This book captures the true pain of what so many folks go through when addicted to another. I highly recommend.
