The Journey from Abandonment to Healing

Take Control of Your Life Chances are, you’ve already had run-ins with your Outer Child — the self-sabotaging, bungling, and impulsive part of your personality. This misguided, hidden nemesis blows your diet, overspends, and ruins your love life. Your Outer Child acts out and fulfills your legitimate childlike needs and wants in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in counterproductive ways: It goes for immediate gratification and the quick fix in spite of your best-laid plans. Now, in a revolutionary rethinking of the link between emotion and behavior, veteran psychotherapist Susan Anderson offers a three-step program to tame your Outer Child’s destructive behavior. This dynamic, transformational set of strategies — action steps that act like physical therapy for the brain — calms your Inner Child, strengthens your Adult Self, releases you from the self-blame and shame at the root of Outer Child issues, and paves new neural pathways that can lead to more productive behavior. The result is happiness, fulfillment, self-mastery, and self-love.

Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Healing from Abandonment

Taming Your Outer Child

The fear of abandonment is one of our most primal fears, and deservedly so. Its pain is often overwhelming, and can leave its mark on the rest of your life. In the midst of the hurt, it’s hard to see an end to your feelings of rejection, shame, and betrayal. In this updated edition of the groundbreaking book, Susan Anderson, a therapist who has specialized in helping people with loss, heartbreak, and abandonment for more than thirty years, shares recent discoveries in neuroscience that help put your pain in perspective. It is designed to help all victims of emotional breakups—whether you are suffering from a recent loss, or a lingering wound from the past; whether you are caught up in patterns that sabotage your own relationships, or you’re in a relationship in which you no longer feel loved. From the first stunning blow to starting over, it provides a complete program for abandonment recovery. Going beyond comforting words to promote real change, this healing process will help you work through the five universal stages of abandonment—shattering, withdrawal, internalizing, rage, lifting—by understanding their biochemical and behavioral origins and implications. New hands-on exercises for improving your life will teach you how to manage the inevitable pain, then go on to build a whole new concept of self, increase your capacity for love, and find new love on a deeper and richer level than ever before.

Surviving Through and Recovering from the Five Stages That Accompany the Loss of Love

The Journey from Abandonment to Healing: Revised and Updated

Joanna Sheers Seidenstein

An investigation into how landscape drawing informed a new Dutch identity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, amid enormous expansion in global commerce and colonization, landscape drawing played a key role in forging Dutch national identity. Featuring works on paper by Rembrandt, Bruegel, and Ruisdael, among dozens of other artists, this study examines how a hyperlocal impulse in many of these drawings inspired domestic pride and a sense of connection to the land, as they also reflected aspects of the broader ecological and social change taking place. Incisive essays offer close readings that push our understandings of these artists and their work in important new directions, including eco-criticism, land use and environmentalism, race, and class.

This volume is unique in its focus on cross-fertilisation in the arts, on very specific exploration of liminal spaces, and on the representation of marginal figures in writing. The essays here grew out of the Borders and Margins colloquium, held at Leeds Trinity University, UK, in April 2010, which was the fourth in a series of colloquia. This collection, moreover, contributes to a growing area of scholarship which explores Anglo-French interactions and exchanges. In choosing the term “liminality”, the editors are aware of its nuanced implications, allowing suggestions both of the initial and the transitional. The contributors here are academics from the fields of literature, history and art history, and their essays cover art history, literature, cultural history, the arts, and faith. Altogether, this collection evokes a sense of temporal shift, in that changes in values and focus are uncovered as the nineteenth century progresses. Some have an ekphrastic quality, showing how pictures can have a narrative, and how pictures, as well as texts, can be encoded with moral and social interpretations. Close scrutiny is applied to different kinds of texts, fiction and non-fiction, and the purposes for which they were produced. This book will appeal to scholars and academics interested in a wide range of cross-categorisational transactions in nineteenth-century Britain. It will be of interest to scholars of Victorian culture, and English nineteenth-century literature and art, particularly in terms of genre, as well as to academics interested in the development of social, personal, and national identities.

El miedo al abandono es uno de nuestros miedos más primordiales, y con justa razón. Su dolor es abrumador y puede afectarnos el resto de nuestra vida. Inmersos en el dolor, nos es difícil pensar que hay mucho más que sentimientos de rechazo, vergüenza y traición. Susan Anderson, terapeuta especializada que durante 35 años ha atendido a personas que han sufrido pérdidas, desamor y abandono, nos comparte en esta edición los descubrimientos en neurociencia más recientes que le ayudarán a poner su dolor en perspectiva. Diseñado para ayudar a víctimas de rupturas emocionales, ya sea que se trate de una pérdida reciente o una herida persistente del pasado; ya sea que se encuentren atrapadas en patrones de autosabotaje o en una relación en la que ya no se sienten amadas, este libro proporciona un programa completo para la recuperación del abandono desde el primer pasmoso golpe hasta cómo volver a empezar. Más allá de palabras reconfortantes, este proceso de curación lo ayudará a sobrevivir y recuperarse de las cinco etapas que acompañan a la pérdida del amor —rompimiento, abstinencia, internalización del rechazo, ira y levantamiento— al comprender sus orígenes e implicaciones bioquímicas y conductuales. Una serie de ejercicios prácticos le enseñarán cómo manejar el dolor inevitable, desarrollar un concepto completamente nuevo de sí mismo, aumentar su capacidad para amar y encontrar de nuevo el amor, más profundo y enriquecedor que nunca.

In The Abandonment Recovery Workbook, the only book of its kind, psychotherapist and abandonment expert Susan Anderson explores the seemingly endless pain of heartbreak and shows readers how to break free—whether the heartbreak comes from a divorce, a breakup, a death, or the loss of friendship, health, a job, or a dream.

You will come away with a new sense of self—a self with an increased capacity to love.
