The Only Book You Will Ever Need - This book is an absolute must for anyone going through the trauma of a relationship breakdown - not only those who were married. It s written in such a straightforward & caring way - and you ll feel that Dr Fisher had written it just for you. It separates the various aspects of the emotional rollercoaster you feel you re travelling on and allows you to examine each of them separately, which enables you to understand and make sense of the turmoil.In the depths of despair, when you feel there s nowhere to turn & there s no glimmer of hope anymore, this book throws you a lifeline.This book is invaluable!
FOR ALL BREAK UPS TRY THIS - I bought this book not realizing it was intended for divorce and I m glad I hadn t as it s helped me enormously. I was not married but my partner moved out without any warning, completely out of the blue and has left my life in tatters. This book has shown me the stages to healing and starting again. I can promise that you will relate to the things that are written in the book! it s very uncanny how spot on it is. I m only half way up the rebuilding mountain but I dread to think where I would be if I hadn t had some support. Great for helping out when you ve talked all your friends to death!!!
A great book for personal growth - As someone trying to get over a seven-year relationship back in 1994, this book was my savior. I needed to understand why I felt what I felt. This book allowed me to understand the mix of emotions and turmoil I was going through. And contrary to other books offering more creative approaches, Bruce Fisher s actually explains the complex psychological process of grief, loss and recovery. I still read it today to understand other s feelings and reactions and to better manage my current relationships. A must.
Excellent. Clarifies the process at a much needed time. - I ve used this book in earnest twice. Both times at the depths of despair. It helped me out of those times faster and clearer than by just muddling through. It also taught me about my own contribution to the end, rather than just blaming the other person entirely. I d recommend reading it when the relationship is going well, as you ll wish you had if things go wrong.
hurting now? this WILL provide relief and insight... - bruce can quietly focus your pain, helping you see how you can step beyond it and maybe use it to change invalid programming so you can stop hurting now. he gives 15 building blocks, which differ from the 12 (strongly-ordered) steps in that you can start with any of the 15, whichever gives you the hardest hit. in this way, you can gain a little self-confidence from the self-direction, if so guided. although all are interrelated (and life will teach you something about each if you don t step up and deal but that s why you re reading this now), bruce wrote each section to stand alone. this is the place to start a journey. bruce s kindness might seem bland to one not actively scouring her soul on a momentary basis (as i was.) but that makes this a better place to start while still actively hurting. bruce gives lots of good basic how and why, allowing you to save the in-depth how and why for a little later...i recommend ayanla vansant (how to integrate the divine) and brad blanton (how to integrate honesty) for the later work.
