I read it back in 2006 and can't praise it highly enough. I felt utterly bereft after breaking up with an ex and the part that I couldn't understand was that we had only been together about a year, compared to the fact that it when I had broken up with a previous boyfriend after 3 years, it wasn't as brutal even after all that time. What struck me the most was Paul's explanation of why sometimes it hurts more, and that's because our brains can't tell the difference between what's real and what's imagined. So I'd spent the year planning our future, thinking of our wedding (we had discussed marriage), our kids, the white picket fence, the lot. And of course when that 'future' ended abruptly, it completely ruined me.
Whereas with my previous boyfriend of 3 years, we knew we weren't right for each other and mentally we'd both 'left' the relationship. So whilst it still hurt, it wasn't a devastation. Reading that explanation just made me realise that I had to start imagining a new, better 'future' without him. I started planning a solo trip around South America, thinking of all the adventures I had and within 2 weeks I was in a much much better place. I'd say those 2 weeks were horrendous but it was really a short, sharp breakup.
As soon as I started planning a newer, better future, I missed him less and realised that actually he'd done me a massive favour. I really hope it helps you, it really helped me to understand why it hurts so much and made it much easier to move forward and heal. Sorry to hear that Skylablue - it's probably worth starting your own thread for support advice.

Who knows why some men act that this? You deserve so much more - delete, block and cut contact. I had a whole list of questions to email to the man who dumped me after claiming to love and adore me only the month before. I decided not to email - what's the point?
I could no longer believe a word he said to me. So I cut contact. He then contacted me a month later on my birthday and the next month saying how much he missed me. By then I had began to see him for what he actually was - I blocked and deleted him and am now 3 months no contact. It still hurts some days because I believed we had a future together - he made me believe it.
I still don't know what the hell went wrong but I know I'm too good for him.

I received a DRC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review of this book.
I have been reading multiple self-help type books lately during my healing journey, and this was by far the best. I feel like Paul McKenna addresses the issues much as a good parent or teacher would, being firm but nurturing. There are many practical activities, visualizations, and techniques in the book. I highlighted many of them so that I can go back and do them over again. I also found as I got to the end of the b I received a DRC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review of this book.

I highlighted many of them so that I can go back and do them over again. I also found as I got to the end of the book that there is an Index of Techniques, so that readers can go back and do useful activities again.
It was not an easy read, as you really have to face your demons to heal properly, but so valuable and worthwhile. I would recommend this to anyone trying to heal from the end of a relationship. My only criticism is that the book comes with an online code for a free download of supplemental audio material, and it kept coming up invalid so I could not download it. Perhaps this is because the book has not officially been released yet. This book helped me to get through rough times in my life, it also helped me to heal emotionally. I've also learn t to get over emotional scars easily.
I highly recommend it because it also helped me to think creatively, it sharpened my mind. It is an easy read, which means that everybody from all walks of life can relate to it.
