In December of 1999, I was planning my wedding. In February 2000, my then-fiance broke our engagement (and went on to marry someone else). I was quite devastated by the breakup and went through many levels of anguish. There were also lots of things for me to work on -- like, what I might have done to contribute to the breakup. Fisher's "Rebuilding" theory was extremely useful. Fisher uses the principle of building blocks to help work through each issue, or "stumbling block." One example that stuck with me was the "stumbling block" of "I didn't do enough, or didn't try hard enough." The "rebuilding" block was "I did the best I could" While this may seem simplistic, the "rebuilding blocks" served as excellent reminders of the good things in life. If you have suffered a relationship loss, please check out this book. You will find many useful ideas, and will assuredly feel better as a result.

This book is an absolute must for anyone going through a relationship breakup. The book sets out all the different phases of breakup grief and gives you some logic and hope in a crazy, painful time.
I first discovered this book in 1999 and have recommended it to everyone whom has been in the same situation since.

Although this workbook is meant to go along with the "Rebuilding" workshop, it can still be used without the workshop, in conjunction with the "Rebuilding" book. It has some additional information to think about and exercises to do as you are healing from the loss of your relationship.

Fisher applies stages of grief to the divorce/break-up process so you can make sense of your experience and not feel so crazy. Good book, good advice.

This produce was everything I expected and the service was fast and professional. I would always have confidence using amazon as the result of this purchase.

This is excellent for someone going through a divorce or in the beginning stages.

Both the book and the workbook have been helpful in my therapy practice with processing feelings, loss, and grief. Helps enable a person to determine why their moods shift and how to get past it. Highly recommended for mental health professionals. Many helpful homework resources.

I have been to numerous divorce classes and therapy and this book and workbook is so enlightening. I cannot imanagine anyone not benefiting from this workbook if you do the journaling required

Am a therapist. Found book once at discount used store. Found many pages trauma patients could relate to, especially those needing to 'feel' to 'understand their need to reattach to feelings' and those feeling abandoned or alone. Purchased book to go with the workbook. Many truths.

The book is very informative and insightful. The workbook, however, is really only good if you are taking one of their classes.
