Too fast!

While I enjoyed the content of this book and the lessons to learn in it, Dr. Laura read way too fast it's hard to absorb everything.

Betrayal is heartbreaking

I found this book by accident one morning at 1:23. I am so glad. It helped me put things in perspective. The only negative was that DR. Laura narrated too fast.

empathy, clarity and instruction to help move on

Dr Laura covers so much ground. Her examples of intimate betrayal are particularly helpful to me and the reason I purchased this book. There's no quick fix to a broken heart... there's just the Grace of distance, time and new opportunity that if you allow yourself to heal fully will be, feel and taste even more blessed once achieved. Revenge isn't made taboo and I loved this! it's a discussion of how different motives and means of revenge will likely result and an exploration of alternative paths which aren't necessarily the high road but can elevate you from the depths of rage, bitterness, scorn and depression betrayal sunk me into. I can start to faithfully take responsibility for my own healing without being glued to the idea that there's nothing good to come from getting the crap end of the stick. thank you for this writing!

Wisdom

there are so many nuggets of wisdom in this book. if I had to offer a readers digest version of it, acknowledge the betrayal, step outside of the pain, learn from it, but don't wallow in it. People can be shitty but that doesn't give you the right to start flinging the shit or swim around in it. Highly recommend, can be applied to all walks of life from the business world to family life.

Love Dr Laura

Great perspective from a very smart lady. If you regularly listen to her show you will love this book!
