Loving Him without Losing You: How to Stop Disappearing and Start Being Yourself - Seven Empowering Strategies for Better Relationships (Paperback)

Beverly Engel, psychotherapist and author of numerous self-help books for women (such as Raising Your Sexual Self-Esteem), sets about explaining the phenomenon of the "Disappearing Woman". A woman who, in spite of being strong, secure and self-assured, forfeits her own personality and ignores her own needs whenever she enters into a romantic relationship.

Do you tend to fall head over heels in love quickly and intensely? Do you neglect friendships to be with your lover? Do you tend to undervalue and question your own feelings whenever they differ from your lover's? Do you need constant reassurance of your lover's feelings toward you? According to Engel, these are just some of the symptoms of "Disappearing Woman" syndrome.

Loving Him Without Losing You offers empathy and insight coupled with exercises and cures. By including excerpts of interviews with 47 subjects, the author illustrates the biological and sociological factors that cause women to become "emotional chameleons" and offers advice to those stuck in similar behavioural ruts. Empowering and encouraging, Losing Him Without Losing You is a must for all women who immerse themselves in their men. --Christopher Kelly --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
