## Overview

This insightful paperback, published on September 1, 2014, offers readers a comprehensive guide to overcoming the fear of abandonment and cultivating lasting, loving relationships. With practical exercises and expert insights, it empowers individuals to transform their emotional landscape and build stronger connections.

## Description

Everyone thrives on love, comfort, and the safety of family, friends, and community. But if you are denied these basic comforts early in life, whether through a lack of physical affection or emotional bonding, you may develop intense fears of abandonment that can last well into adulthood―fears so powerful that they can actually cause you to push people away. If you suffer from fears of abandonment, you may have underlying feelings of anger, shame, fear, anxiety, depression, and grief. These emotions are intense and painful, and when they surface they can lead to a number of negative behaviors, such as jealousy, clinging, and emotional blackmail. In Love Me, Don’t Leave Me , therapist Michelle Skeen combines acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), schema therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to help you identify the root of your fears. In this book you’ll learn how schema coping behaviors―deeply entrenched and automatic behaviors rooted in childhood experiences and fears―can take over and cause you to inadvertently sabotage your relationships. By recognizing these coping behaviors and understanding their cause, you will not only gain powerful insights into your own mind, but also into the minds of those around you. If you are ready to break the self-fulfilling cycle of mistrust, clinginess, and heartbreak and start building lasting, trusting relationships, this book will be your guide.

Review: Succinct and Practical Help — Very Helpful - This book not only succinctly ties everything I have already learned in overcoming my emotional childhood wounds, but has also been extremely helpful in understanding and addressing the wound that made it difficult for me to receive love. The structure of this book makes it very helpful to work through your wounds. The self-assessment test were very helpful in identifying my own particular fear issue. Furthermore, providing the behavior triggers and behavioral reactions to my particular fear trigger was extremely helpful. Although I am already familiar with much of the information in the remainder of the book, it still helped bring clarity to dealing my own emotional wound in a more healthy manner. This book is filled with lots of practical exercises with examples to walk you through the healing process. In fact, as a whole, these exercises are more practically helpful than any other book I have read on overcoming trauma (not the only great book though: Rewire Your Brain, Daring to Trust, Learned Optimism, Willpower Instinct and Charisma Myth were also great. Each touch on key principles addressed in this particular book). The chapter on communication covered a variety of important topics, but also done in a succinct manner that makes it easy to incorporate as I open myself for Building Lasting, Loving Relationships. If you are new to the overcoming the fears and wounds of the past, this is a great book to start. If you are like me and have been working through your wounds for some time, then this book very well may bring a simplified clarity to the whole process. I can actually live the advice in this book in my life presently. I don't have to spend months trying to get a grasp of my wound. I can now live the life I am working towards. I personally got what I needed from this book, even with the needed exercises, within one day. I am glad I bought it and highly recommend it.
Review: Terrific Book - Michelle Skeen has nailed emotional abandonment damage perfectly. The struggle is lifelong and she is right to point that out. For me what happened and failed to happen for me as baby, toddler and adolescent when mother was not available for support and was so manipulating makes me panic when a loved one withdraws at all for any reason and then I behave in ways I regret because they are toxic to what I want more than anything in this world...unconditional love. I have also clung to unavailable men in the vain hope that if I can be just what they want, they will love me, falling back into the failed attempts to "please mother". Thankfully, Dr. Skeen teaches us how to change our behavior patterns by accepting the feelings we cannot eliminate...without guilt or shame and then teaches us visualization techniques we can use to let them go... before we over-react. I am starting to feel stronger and better about myself in general now. I am working on something for myself!!! There is no sugar coating on this though. It hurts to let yourself feel things you used to cover up quickly with anger and distrust, but then after some tears, you hook them up to a cloud or floating leaf and let them go. Strangely enough when I look in the mirror lately, I even look prettier to myself! Well, there is so much more to it than this....but in a nutshell, it is a very honest book and the advice very practical and doable. I highly recommend this book for anyone...and there are so many of us, who suffers the primal fear of abandonment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful and eye-opening!
*by C***. on June 5, 2019*

I read this book on and off throughout the period of a few months, sometimes getting distracted, sometimes sitting back to reflect on what I had read. For a long time, I thought I might have abandonment issues as a result of my upbringing and many of my early experiences, but it didn't quite hit me until I did something I regretted. I then thought to seek some help because that behavior had become a recurring pattern, and found this book. It forced me to confront some self-sabotaging, negative behaviors and thought patterns, and forced me to take a good, long hard look at myself, hard as it was to admit. This book it not for passive reading, it will ask you to keep a journal and write things down. I found that immensely helpful to come to terms with sabotaging behaviors. Remember, healing isn't an overnight process. The journey continues, but this book has inspired me to seek out professional therapy to address my abandonment issues and all that's come with it. Writing is easy to read and the chapters flowed well. The author intersperses her own personal stories that relate to the next topic she's going to talk about. Two of the biggest things I took away from this: Be like the sky, and your negative thoughts are clouds that you acknowledge and let pass you by. And do the opposite of what you're naturally inclined to do once your core beliefs are triggered. Great read and I'd recommend it for anyone who suspects they may have abandonment issues, or low self-esteem!
