Who Am I Without You?: Fifty-Two Ways to Rebuild Self-Esteem After a Breakup

by Christina G. Hibbert PsyD, Sue Patton Thoele (Foreword)

If a breakup or divorce has drained your confidence and shattered your self-esteem, this book is for you. Written by a clinical psychologist and expert in women’s health, Who Am I Without You? will help you work through your heartache, rediscover your self-worth, and learn to live and love again. Breakups can send you into a tailspin, causing an identity crisis and loss of self-worth. So how do you get back to the person you once were? Who Am I Without You? will teach you powerful skills based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and mindfulness that will help you tackle the difficult emotions that can surface after a breakup, such as grief, loss, anger, fear, worry, and low self-esteem. Comprised of fifty-two small chapters, the tools and exercises in this book are easy to apply, and will help you pick up the pieces of your broken identity, put them back together, shine yourself up, and get back out into the world—whole again and better than ever. Anyone who’s been through a breakup or divorce knows just how painful it can be. And nowhere does a breakup or divorce hit harder than our identity and sense of self-worth. If you're ready to move past the pain of the end of your relationship and reclaim your confidence, this book will show you how.

Will be using this for all of my future breakups now

[Handeela · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book accompanied me for a large portion of my initial healing, and during the COVID-19 era when the libraries were closed. It has been an amazing tool and has become a bit like an old friend. The book contains an assortment of quotes, wisdom, and activities that will help you on your healing journey. You have to do the work to get the most out of it. Take care and be gentle with yourself, you deserve your healing.

Healing After A Breakup

I found this book really helpful, and recommend it for anyone going through a difficult time after the loss of a significant relationship. The tools and exercises are not always easy, but they are necessary in the healing process. In the end, the reader will feel better about themselves and their situation.

Re-building self esteem is daunting at times, and it's something most of us have to work on every day, but this book will help.

First part of the book was great, unfortunately the second part I did not find it so interesting. Still I believe is worth reading it as it gives a different way to see a tough and complicated situation

Useful book if you don't have access to a trained psychologist though
