Wholeheartedness: Healing Our Heartbreaks [Hardcover]

Chuck Spezzano is an internationally renowned psychologist, counsellor and trainer, the author of such inspirationally entitled works as If it Hurts, It isn't Love. His home ground is something that touches us all -the question of relationships. How do I make mine work? Why do I always end up getting hurt? Why is this one no improvement on the last one? Spezzano applies a profoundly effective approach to such painful but all too common queries. He is co-founder (with his wife Lency) of a therapeutic model known as Psychology of Vision, in which the psychotherapeutic and the spiritual are closely aligned.

With this book, Spezzano looks at the experience of heartbreak, and offers both advice and wisdom--emotional, rational, spiritual, even shamanic--to help us understand why heartbreak happens, and the practical tools to address the pain and move forward in our lives without falling again into the same destructive pattern.

Under his attentive and compassionate gaze, heartbreak emerges as an empowering key to self-knowledge, alerting us to the problematic issues in our minds and lives (and beyond) that all of us must address if we are to bring our hearts to wholeness. If it is true that relationships--or the mistakes we make in them--are the cause of heartbreak, it is also the case that "they are the perfect vehicles for profound healing in your life". This is thought-provoking, heart-nourishing stuff.--Dan Fielder
