The Journey from Abandonment to Healing:
Rebuilding the Inner Center
A 4-Week Intensive Reading and Reflection Group
The Journey from Abandonment to Healing
by Susan Anderson
A 4-week guided psychological immersion into Susan Anderson’s book
The Journey from Abandonment to Healing.
Together we will read, reflect, and explore the psychological
architecture of abandonment through the lens of depth psychology,
attachment, and the work of rebuilding the self.
This book offers profound support for all those who have been affected by abandonment—whether recent or long-standing—and are seeking a path to healing.
The Journey from Abandonment to Healing is a powerful guide to transforming the pain of abandonment into a path of healing. Through concrete steps and practical tools, Susan Anderson shows how us how to regain strength, clarity, and self-love.
Why this book is valuable
Because it combines both theory and experience, making visible often-hidden feelings: rejection, shame, fear of abandonment, and relational sabotage.
Because it offers not only comfort, but concrete tools to transform hurt into a resource for growth.
Because it addresses a variety of situations: recent hurt, old hurts, ongoing relationships, or relationships that seem to have lost their authenticity.
In this reading group, we will go beyond classical relational psychology.
Following Susan Anderson's method, we will explore how the wound of abandonment shapes our emotions, behaviors, and relationships.
But we will go further: with depth psychology, we will see how abandonment is also an archetype, an initiatory descent towards the inner child and the Self.
This reading journey will combine attachment theory, neuroscience and the imaginal, IFS.
