Publisher Description
From a leading voice on recovering from toxic relationships, a deeply insightful guide to getting back to your "old self" again--in order to truly heal and move on. Jackson MacKenzie has helped millions of readers in their struggle to understand the experience of toxic relationships. His first book, Psychopath Free, explained how to identify and survive the immediate situation. In this highly anticipated new audiobook, he guides listeners on what to do next--how to fully heal from abuse in order to find love and acceptance for the self and others. Through his work with thousands of survivors of abusive relationships, Jackson discovered that survivors frequently have symptoms of trauma lasting long after the relationship is over. These may include feelings of numbness and emptiness, depression, mood swings, isolation, perfectionism, rumination, caretaking and people-pleasing, a need for control, physical maladies, substance abuse, and more. But he also found that it is possible to work through these symptoms and find fulfillment and love on the other side. In Whole Again, he shares insights and tools for working through the protective self we've developed, so that we can finally move on to live a full and authentic life--to once again feel light, free, whole, and ready to give and receive love. Like Brené Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection and John Bradshaw's Healing the Shame that Binds You, Whole Again offers hope and multiple strategies to anyone who has survived a toxic relationship, as well as anyone suffering the effects of a breakup involving lying, cheating and other forms of abuse--to release old wounds and safely let the love back inside where it belongs.

"This is a great book for people dealing with past trauma. I read all of it and got some good points but I realized that I needed to leave my abusive relationship first in order to start healing. So please note; you will get the full benefits of this book only when you have physically removed yourself from the abusive situation. "

" I like what the author has tried to help us with in an inside Journey to identify our Protective Self not helping us with the unhealthy coping of our true suffering. He teaches how to find it, how to heal it, especially with mindfulness and how never to identify ourselves again with the Security Mechanism.... hiding our Real Self. "

" I don't like the voice used for it. But the book is really interesting. Talks about many types of troubles and how they think, feel or react (ex. Narcissic, borderline, Avoidant) and how to access your real suffering in order to heal, by understanding your protecting self and telling it goodbye as not necessary anymore rather hurting you. "
