Breaking up may be hard to do, but recovering from it is even harder.  When love goes, you often have more than a broken heart, your mind and self-esteem can be shattered as well.  The ending of even a short-term fling can leave a trail of tears, thoughts that won't turn off, and fear that you'll be alone forever.

Fortunately, help is at hand with the amazing new tool developed by psychologist, Dr. Frances Steinberg, and family therapist, Rick Whiteside.  The When Your Lover Leaves You e-guide offers strategies to get you healthfully through the typical six stages following a relationship breakup:

Shock--disbelief and numbness, marked by difficulty eating and sleeping

Hope--active attempts, negotiations, and manipulations to try and win your ex back

Anger--outward expressions of resentment and rage

Despair--an inward turning of emotions, including depression and self-doubt

Indifference--no significant reaction to your ex and enjoyment of your independence

Growth--feelings and self-assurance positively transferred to a new relationship

Most people experience all of the stage, although the path through them depends on your personality, past experiences, or the length/intensity of the relationship.  Problems develop when instead of passing through the stages, you get stuck.

The When Your Lover Leaves You e-guide enables you to understand each stage and gives lots of helpful, easy to use instructions on how to pass through them.  Users can read material, listen to narration, watch video clips of interviews with people who've gone through the stages, navigate directly to strategies that are interesting--all at the click of a mouse button.  And because it downloads directly to your computer, there's no embarrasing moments at the checkout counter.

On the website, www.whenyourloverleavesyou.com, Steinberg and Whiteside have posted helpful information, a strategy of the week, and a link to a YouTube clio that explains what people experience.  You can view a sample of the guide and take a quiz to find out what stage you're currently in.

So what becomes of the broken-hearted?  They get well and happy and ready to move on by using the When Your Lover Leaves You e-guide.
