Moving on: Dump Your Relationship Baggage and Make Room for the Love of Your Life

Wow, I must say that I did not expect to discover anything new in regards to past Romantic relationships. I say that because I've actually done a lot of Grief work over the last 3 years since being introduced to The Grief Recovery Outreach Program & Institute. I'd been waiting for their relationship book to come out. I was eager to read it just so that I could refer others to it that may not have seen any other reason to even consider unresolved grief. To my surprise I discovered more things that I personally needed to complete. All I can say is that this is not just another relationship book. It's truly a step by step guide to finishing unresolved and unfinished emotional business that can keep one stuck in the past and unable to move forward. This systematic approach is truly liberating. Thank you Russell and John. Happy Holidays, MYH

This book has helped me move on while maintaining/remembering what I loved so as not to lose the best parts but rather to complete them so that it's all a part of me and my life experience. My heart was broken when my marriage ended even though I was clear that it had to. I wondered why, and even more, I wondered what I had done wrong. "Moving On" gave me the tools to heal and as a result, my heart opened even more. The exercises helped me clean up the debris, in which was hidden the shrapnel that continued to wound me afterwards. I also became clear that it's not about understanding What happened or who's wrong or right, but getting complete with the past so I can live in present time. To be honest, I won't say that I'm glad that I had to use this book, but I'm sure glad I found it. If you're reading this it's my guess you will be too.

Think about it. It's really not that hard. Would you rather live the rest of your life with a smile on your face and a spring in your step or do you want to continue suffering silently because you're a guy and that's what guys do? Seriously. Do you want to stumble through life with that unhealed hole in your chest? If the smile and the spring sound good, let Friedman and James teach you how to once and for all put that old relationship behind you. It's a process. They'll walk you through it. No meetings to attend. No awkward moments. No one will ever know.

I was lucky enough to be given a preview copy of this book and began taking the actions inside. It has helped me so much to get complete with my past relationships so I can be more present for a new one. I highly recommend it for anyone hoping to find happiness in a relationship. The actions in the book have helped me get out of self-analyzing isolation and back into living.

I've known for some time that I've been carrying a lot of baggage with me, and that it caused me to sabotage several relationships. But that awareness never helped me change. I had tried every thing I heard of and bought every book out there, but all they did was make me more aware of how messed up I was and didn't give me any real way to change. My current girlfriend had already let me know that our relationship was on thin ice. Just as the end was in sight, a friend of mine who knows the guys who wrote this book, got me a PDF copy of it. Now I don't want to come off all new-agey or anything, but as a result of doing the actions in this book, I have truly begun to change. I really have hope that this relationship can be the one that makes it.
