This book feels like a great start for someone contemplating therapy for abandonment issues for the first time. It introduces a range of very easy to implement strategies from a range of techniques. However, probably won’t provide anything significant for someone who has already been engaged with self growth / self help strategies for abandonment issues already. My biggest criticism is that the book seems to be written specifically for a heterosexual female with abandonment issues hoping to establish a fulfilling relationship with a male (all the examples are “if you do ….. and he then responds with…. Etc, or a case study where the person in focus is female and her male partner had a response). It is disappointing for men who need this book who may find it hard to connect with the content
