Recovery Workbook for Love Addicts and Love Avoidants
I was SO intimated about contacting you, but felt an overpowering need to first personally thank you for reassuring me I had not completely lost it and offering me a way out. When I discovered you were now offering life coaching, you didn't have to ask me twice!!! Once I read your books, I immediately found your work to be down to earth (free of annoying psycho babble), clear, concise, relevant, and full of hope. It was so powerful to turn the pages of your books and relate and understand ME immediately. This personal identification with your work and examples were so powerful. I knew I had found my answer when I came to the symptom of smothering one's POA [Love Addicts Anonymous term for person of addiction.] I knew in my heart you understood me at my worst! It was as if you had jumped out from the pages I was reading and nailed me right there. I immediately saw myself as a dump truck driver backing up and letting go of my load covering my fantasy love who had no earthly clue I had an intimate feeling at all for him! Thank you. I read your second book as my addiction had escalated past the point of making no sense to me. It became my Bible of hope as my therapist and I poured through the concepts of change you presented seeking how I might recover. Thank you again! It has been my pleasure knowing you, and a miracle meeting you! I hope my POA enjoyed my strange and continuous love ... as it is coming to an end very very soon. Time's up buddy as I'm moving on!!!!Sheryl --ReaderYour writings have changed my life. All kinds of emotions are coming up but it's good. I have suffered from chronic and debilitating depression for more than half of my life and only just realized that I suffer from love addiction. I just finished reading your book, Addiction to Love and found it to be the best book I have read on the subject. I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am to have found your book and your website. (Anonymous) I firmly believe it was God that led me to Susan and her book and my eventual booking some time with her. During that first session it was like I was hit over the head with a bat. It was so clear and so subliminal. What was said was small compared to what was transmitted between Susan's spirit and mine. Believe me I got the word. (Anonymous) --AnonymousLove addiction is a three-headed serpent that Susan Peabody adeptly slays. This is the quintessential book for any love addict or counselor needing to fully understand this highly prevalent and complex disorder. Susan detects and dissects aspects of this condition not comprehended in other books of its kind. Recovery is possible. This book makes it possible to take the succinct steps necessary towards a loving and reciprocal, long-term intimate relationship. (Sudi Scull MFT, CN Psychologist)  I have just recently finished reading your book and wanted you to know that it has saved my life. Maybe this sounds crazy, but it s true. I wasn t going to get help for my addiction until I read this book. I was in the final stage of addiction when I purchased it on a whim. At that stage, according to the book, it s either death or intervention. So in a way your book was my intervention. As I write this, it is 3:00 a.m. in the morning and I should be sleeping. But I now have chronic stress-related problems, and I m in fear of losing my job. But thanks to your book, I begin therapy today, and I now have a hope that I never had before. Over 33 years of trying to kill myself for love, I finally feel like I have a chance for real happiness. Thank you for writing this book, you ve helped to save my life. (Reader) --Therapist
