Editorial Reviews for How to Break Your Addiction to a Person
|
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.
From the Paperback edition.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: An excellent well rounded approach
Comment: This title is amazing in its well rounded approach to dealing with addiction to another person. Using both stories and psychological analysis it is able to not only help you understand where the feelings of addiction come from, but it also helps you realize that you can overcome these crippling emotional ties. I found myself interested in the progress and stories of the individuals in the book which made the book a very easy read. While many self-help books can be weighty and difficult to finish, I found myself wanting to pick this book up again and again.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Never received the ordered product
Comment: Very poor service, either from the sender or from Amazon. As a long time Amazon client, I'm disappointed that I never received this item.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I am not a fool, after all!
Comment: This book told me a lot of things I already knew about Attachment Hunger, but made me feel a lot less stupid about returning to the same person over and over. It makes me understand that I am overvaluing one person's opinion and gave solid tips for moving forward. Highly recommend it to anyone who has difficulty letting go of a particular person.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent book to discover your "love addiction" issues, childhood issues and taking back your life!
Comment: This book by far was the key to me being able to break the pattern of unhealthy relationships. Love addiction, codenpendency is very real and very deep seeded. This book is the manual for learning how to identify why and how bad relationships keep happening..and how to break the addiction.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A classic that still rings true
Comment: I first read this book in the early 80's, highlighted it, worked through parts of it, and felt that it helped me tremendously. Over the years I've kept my original copy (which is now yellowed and stained) and I still return to it to remind myself of the truths which are so well presented. The material is clear, not condescending, and for those brave enough to put Dr. Halpern's recommendations into practice - invaluable! I can honestly say this little old paperback has changed my life for the better - more than once.
