Do you wish someone would let go of you?

Whether you're an obsessive lover or the target of such an obsession, here is a proven, step-by-step program that shows you how to recognize the "connection compulsion," what causes it, and how to break its hold on your life so that you can go on to build healthy, lasting, and pain-free relationships.

Useful information...:

The book was easy to read and simple to understand. I would consider it to be a good book for beginners (as an introduction to obsessive love), but I would probably supplement it with other reading material.
I bought the book because I was the target of an obsessive lover and I wanted to understand his behavior and the root of obsessive love a bit more. I ended up learning a bit about him and myself after reading this book. I related a lot to Karen's story...she and I are what the author calls... more info

obsessive love:

I read this book about 6 yrs ago. At the time I was obsessed with my ex partner.When I started reading this book I totally related to what I was reading . By the end of this book I was left fustrated and confused.The exercises that were suggested At the end seemed simple enough but I found for myself these were totally inadequate and I was left alot more alone and depressed than before I started. Since then I have done alot more reading in love and sex addition and find that this subject is very complexed.... more info

Astonishing!:

I stumbled across this book at one of the lowest times of my life... I started reading it and it seemed as if the book were written just for me! I started to highlight passages and had to stop as I was highlighting so that it was taking too much time -- I just wanted to continue reading as quickly as possible as I was learning so much.
It was astonishing - I honestly did not know other people felt exactly as I did, and reacted similarly to their crisis as I did to mine. The book did help me get thru... more info

Extremely Helpful:

I've been struggling with "getting over" my ex for 6 years now, and this is the first book I've read that has actually helped me. It shows how and why thoughts and behaviors can become obsessive, and gives concrete suggestions and exercises to help change these self destructive tendincies. I highly recommend this book for anybody ready to take their life back and move on to a new, healthy relationship.
