Obsessive Love: How to Free Your Emotions and Live Again

This is an explorations of how the trauma caused by obsessive love can colour all aspects of your life and affect future relationships if it is not properly addressed. Therapists now realize that the syndrome must be recognized, understood and then dealt with if it is not to cause long-term emotional damage. Liz Hodgkinson writes from personal experience. Using her story, case histories and the writings of victims of unrequited love, she analyzes the problem, its causes and effects and shows how you should face up to it and take positive action. She suggests self-help techniques and explains how new therapies and counselling methods can help sufferers to access their feelings and free themselves of their preoccupation - conscious or subconscious - with a person they still desperately want but cannot have.
