Suffering a recent heartbreak or lingering wounds from the past? Alone, can’t find a relationship or getting love to last? Insecurity is self-defeating? Attracted to the unavailable?
I am Susan Anderson, psychotherapist and founder of Abandonment Recovery. Trying to overcome abandonment trauma, shame and anxiety can seem overwhelming, but the program treats the source of the problem to help you find greater life and love than before.
I developed the special tools of Abandonment Recovery while recovering from my own adult abandonment trauma. I want to show you how to redirect the energy within abandonment’s wrenching pain toward empowering the deepest possible recovery and growth: Akēru.
I’m making these life-changing tools available to you through a series of videos you can download where I guide you step by step through a program of Abandonment Recovery, or you can access this Program through my books or workshops.
The program has been helping thousands of people all over the world resolve their abandonment wounds past and present, and it will help you, too.
Do you have abandonment issues?

Alone, can’t find a relationship or getting love to last?

Your sense of self is rising, your quest for love fulfilling.
