Book Description

Release date: December 27, 2011

Breakups are an unfortunate but inevitable part of every woman’s life, and there’s no denying that the heartache experienced after the ending of a serious relationship can be excruciating. But it doesn’t have to feel insurmountable, and there is always hope to be found.
 
In The Breakup Bible, psychotherapist and breakup expert Rachel Sussman reveals the secrets every woman needs to get her life back on track. Drawing on hundreds of counseling sessions she’s conducted with women at all stages of recovery, Sussman developed a proven 3-phase process for healing from a breakup. The Breakup Bible takes women through Healing, Understanding, and Transformation, with new perspectives and advice from real, healed women at each step. Sussman’s plan for getting over the end of a relationship is revolutionary and sound, complete with steps for creating a personalized Love Map, a vital and groundbreaking tool for moving on after a breakup.
 
The Breakup Bible proves that it is possible to not only survive a breakup, but to emerge from one as an even stronger, empowered woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book for coping with break up/divorce January 5, 2012

By Emily Meehan

Format:Kindle Edition

I gave this book to a friend who was going through a painful divorce. She told me that she kept wishing for some kind of instruction manual for how to cope with the feelings and thoughts she had during this difficult time in her life and that The Breakup Bible was exactly what she needed. I read it myself and found it helped me talk to her about everything. I recommend this to anyone helping a friend through a painful break up or divorce, or for anyone going through it herself.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book to all of my clients going through or anticipating a breakup May 8, 2012

By Christina Lindstrom, PhD

Format:Paperback

As a therapist with 32 years of experience I am relieved to finally have a book to recommend to my clients who are going through a transition as the result of a breakup.
This book not only focuses on the healing which needs to follow a separation but also suggests strategies for moving forward to a better and more satisfying present and future. Reading this book has brought not only comfort to my clients but has also rekindled hope.
I highly recommend it for anyone who has experienced the pain of separation and wishes to build a new relationship that is healthier and happier.

5.0 out of 5 stars A life saver January 4, 2012

By Arnina

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is exactly what I needed. The tools provided in this book to help recover from a horrible loss are what's missing from many books in this category. Nothing else I read was as helpful in recovery and moving on. I strongly recommend it to anyone suffering a relationship loss.
