WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
The Journey From Abandonment to Healing
Susan Anderson

"Of all human fears abandonment is the most primal," says Susan Anderson, a psychotherapist who has specialized in helping people overcome heartbreak, loss and abandonment for more than 25 years. "Left unresolved, this deep personal wound can linger beneath the surface where it undermines self-esteem and interferes in our relationships from within." Anderson is the founder of the Abandonment Recovery movement and author of the internationally acclaimed Journey from Abandonment to Healing.

In this workshop, Susan will present a highly effective program of emotional and spiritual healing that provides the means to reverse the universal wound of abandonment. Participants will learn:

* The five stages of grief specific to abandonment
* The five mental exercises that correspond to each stage
* How to overcome patterns of self-sabotage and "abandoholism"
* A mind / body process called "Akeru" that facilitates personal growth and healing
* Biological and chemical process that underlie emotional responses to loss

Whether you're experiencing a recent break-up, a lingering wound from the past, or struggling to find a relationship, this workshop helps to restore your sense of self and increase your capacity for love.
