Publisher's Summary

Severing a cherished relationship is one of the most painful experiences in life - and cutting those emotional ties to a loved one can feel almost like ending an addiction. Up till now, people recovering from other problems were able to get real help - like AA and rehab - while those struggling in the aftermath of traumatic breaks dealt with platitudes and friends insisting they should "get over it already". But now Exaholics Anonymous treats getting over an ex like kicking a chemical habit.

Written by counselor and therapist Dr. Lisa Bobby, Exaholics offers meaningful support and advice to anyone trapped in the obsessive pain of a broken, or dying, attachment. She helps the brokenhearted heal, showing them, on a deep level, how to develop a conceptual framework for their experience, understand the emotional processes at work inside themselves, find the path to recovery, and free themselves of shame, injured ego, and remorse. In-depth case studies of others' journeys will illuminate the way to future happiness.

Absolutely fantastic read

For anyone struggling with letting go or making sense of heartbreak - or honestly, anyone wanting to understand themselves better as a partner and how people behave in and out of relationships. The first couple of chapters are light but it settles into a very deep, balanced and engaging exploration of the science behind live and attachments. Empathetic and insightful and the narrator, as others have noted, is WONDERFUL. The last section is packed with actionable strategies and a very welcomed section on the intersection of domestic violence and relationships, which is needed and courageous. Well done to the author. Highly recommended to the broken-hearted and healing among us.
