Obsessive Love: When It Hurts Too Much to Let Go

Author: Susan Forward

Is it impossible to let go — despite the pain?

• Do you yearn for someone who is not physically or emotionally available to you?
• Do you believe that if you love him enough he will have to love you?
• When you feel insecure, does it drive you only to want her more?
• Do you find yourself phoning repeatedly or waiting long hours for the phone to ring?

Do you wish someone would let go of you?

• Does an ex-lover or ex-spouse refuse to believe that it’s over?
• Do you receive unwanted phone calls, letters, presents, or visits?
• Is this pursuit of you creating so much anxiety that it affects your physical or emotional well-being?

In this invaluable self-help guide, Dr. Susan Forward presents vivid case histories as well as the real-life voices of men and women caught in the grip of obsessive passion.

Whether you’re an obsessive lover or the target of such an obsession, here is a proven, step-by-step program that shows you how to recognize the “connection compulsion,” what causes it, and how to break its hold on your life so that you can go on to build healthy, lasting, and pain-free relationships.

Library Journal

Addressing those consumed by their obsessive propensities, Los Angeles therapist Forward dramatically describes the effects and consequences of out-of-control passions. Drawing on her extensive practice, she uses vignettes to illustrate a variety of smothering, volatile relationships. She portrays situations where one partner seeks to completely dominate the supposed object of his or her affection, and highlights unrealistic expectations that can turn unrequited love into violent anger. Forward devotes her third and most important section to ``Freeing Yourself from Obsession.'' While self-help may be inadequate for a person suffering from these destructive behavior patterns--indeed, professional therapy is most likely required--Forward has a following and this book will undoubtably be popular.-- Carol R.
