"For me, the definitive addiction & recovery book, regardless of your addiction. Dealing specifically with women's tendency to obsess over love & sex, it delves deeply into the spiritual voids that drive any addiction. Shows how this pattern usually begins in childhood but can be alleviated in adulthood with awareness and a commitment to one's self and one's underlying yearnings. Written with beautiful compassion and wisdom. I re-read it every few years."
"I had a therapist in my early 20s who asked me to read this and I refused. I had to be in my 40s, in the midst of yet another complicated and confusing relationship, to have the nerve to purchase it when yet someone else put it in front of my nose. It wasn't what I thought it would be - I think I balked at the word "addiction" initially - but it kicked my ever lovin' ass into some thought directions I've never gone before. I learned so much about the dynamics of my love and sexual relationships, and underlined the heck out of this book with things I wanted to soak in. It goes back to the root of things - early childhood, parental relationships, covering things like boundary setting, conditional and unconditional love, self esteem, and so on. As an abuse survivor, that was more often beaten emotionally or spiritually, I didn't realize the true impact some of the insidious and subtle events of my childhood impacted me as an adult. I found myself shuddering and sputtering a lot when I read this, and recognized long held patterns in my life that I really never understood.
Yup, this one blew my mind. The pages will be falling out before I'm fully done with it."
"I like Kasl a lot and have read several of her books lately; she is down to earth, practical, and holistic. This is one of her earliest books, and dated in some ways -- her later work is more mature -- but I still got a lot out of it and would recommend it to women struggling to develop a healthy relationship with their sexuality as survivors of childhood sexual abuse."
