Private E-consultation with the author on behalf of your clients surviving abandonment.

Dear Colleagues,

Bounce your cases off of me, and I'll lend my impression or respond to your questions. I'll try to help you * distinguish normal (albeit intense) grief from the onset of major depression * discern acute abandonment crisis from chronic patterns such as mood/anxiety disorder, difficulty forming primary relationships, rejection-sensitivity, poor self image, addiction, co-addiction, chronic insecurity * identify abandonment's post traumatic symptoms i.e. re-emerging symbiotic feelings, increased risk taking, neglected self-care, suicidality, panic, need to self- medicate, borderline regression and other forms of acting out * share techniques for working through your client's stuckness in abandoholism, abandophobism, or in the grief stages. Clients often temporarily revert to a default defense, i.e. becoming over- controlling toward the abandoner, punitive, self-abdicating. How to move the still fragile, narcissistically injured person out of protest, blame, and self-denial, and into self-responsibility and positive change.

In describing your case(s) please limit to under one page and allow the additional pertinent information to unfold through our exchange. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
