Learning To Love Again .... My Review of: "Post-Romantic Stress Disorder" ... Written By: John Bradshaw

Post-Romantic Stress Disorder: What to Do When the Honeymoon Is Over by John Bradshaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars




To be succinct this book is necessity for those who are tired of going through the motions after another dysfunctional relationship/breakup. The moral of the story is to deal with your own baggage first and foremost, and after you’ve dealt with it, you can go out into the world and attract someone who has dealt with their stuff as well. And if you do manage to find someone who is an emotional train wreck waiting to happen, you’ll empowered not to “board that train.” By providing a clear cut, no nonsense manual with case histories and tips for better living, John Bradshaw has managed once again, to drag America’s dirty luggage out into the open, so that we can have a better of understanding of the Romantic notions that plague and sometimes threaten to destroy us. While reading this book, one can tell that Bradshaw is clearly an academic who is a therapist with real-life experience. With that being said, he’s not here to make you feel good, he’s here to offer you the choice of doing better, so that in the end, your love life will be stable and not one that appears to be ravaged by a barrel full of titanic monkeys on the loose.
If you’re expecting the down home humor of Dr. Phil, or even the Zen approach of Dr. Wayne Dyer, please keep in mind that you’re dealing with an Academic whose sole purpose is to get to the root of the matter, no matter how hurtful it may be to deal with. Overall it’s better to rip the emotional Band-Aid off now, and let the wound(s) heal, instead of being left to die as a lonely, bitter, pitiful person with nary an ounce of love for neither self nor others….

Giving this one: 4 solid stars…
