Publisher's Summary
Is having 'somebody to love' the most important thing in your life? Do you constantly believe that with 'the right man' you would no longer feel depressed or lonely? Are you bored with 'nice guys' who are open, honest, and dependable? If being in love means being in pain, this book was written for you. Therapist Robin Norwood describes loving too much as a pattern of thoughts and behavior, which certain women develop as a response to problems from childhood.
Many women find themselves repeatedly drawn into unhappy and destructive relationships with men. They then struggle to make these doomed relationships work. This best-selling book takes a hard look at how powerfully addictive these unhealthy relationships are - but also gives a very specific program for recovery from the disease of loving too much.

The MANipulator manual. Keep your man interested and begging for more without playing games. So many women get in trouble in their love lives, and 99.9 percent of that trouble could have been avoided if they'd said "Well, f**k him!" a bit more often. Too many women are way too nice and compliant to their men, especially when these men don't deserve that kind of treatment. I, as a dating coach and author of books for women who want to get men, cannot take it anymore.

Story
A guy who rejects or breaks up with you should no longer exist in your life. Contacting him or allowing him to stay in touch with you will make you work harder and harder to convince him that you’re worth his love and attention, and it will compel you to play that ugly and unwinnable game called Chase-a-Man. The best way to avoid this ugly game and break his spell over you is to cut the guy off (cease all communications and interactions) for a set period of time, or in some cases, keep him cut off out of your life indefinitely.

William Avers explores the human condition without prejudice or bias because traumatic bonds may occur to anyone. Contrary to most people’s belief that abusers prey on the weak and foolish, abusers also prey on capable and attractive people because they seek the challenge too.

Editorial Review
For every woman who longs for true love and happiness but always seems to choose the wrong man, Women Who Love Too Much shows how to break the addiction to unhealthy relationships. For some women, a relationship is like an addiction. These women can lose control of the situation and of their well-being in the pursuit of love. Author Robin Norwood states that this type of woman will, without fail, gravitate towards men who are anything but boring. These men might be troubled, angry, elusive, or simply emotionally unavailable. However, it’s the woman who feels she must fix things, and like a drug addict, cannot step away when the relationship turns sour. Ellen Archer, who narrates this Audible audiobook, is a talented and acclaimed professional. Her other works include Sleeping Women by Haruki Murakami and Smashed by Koren Zailckas. Her narration of Women Who Love Too Much is warm, calm, and engaging. Her clear voice carries the stories and themes with a compassionate and emotive style. Norwood, a licensed therapist by trade, didn’t just create this title due to the countless women she has helped over the years–she created it because she used to be one of them. By listening to her audiobook, she hopes women will learn to love themselves sufficiently, break their addiction, and take back control over their relationships.

Even though the stories weren’t exact, they explained so much about my behavior in relationships and helped me discuss the right things with my therapist. I’m healing and it feels so amazing.

A book that puts a lot into perspective
This book helped me work through a difficult and confusing time. I learned a lot about myself and why I look for and end up with men incapable of love. Then I understood the psychology behind my actions and my partners actions and behaviors. This book taught me to be alone for a while and work on myself and never let this pattern happen again. It validated all the confusing emotions I was experiencing so I could gain a fresh outlook and move forward slowly

I enjoyed listening to this wonderful book even though the topic was a bit heavy... The reader will discover quite a lot about him/herself, about his/her personality. The author takes you to a journey somewhere deep inside yourself.
