Listen "Episode 130: Whole Again, with Jackson MacKenzie"
Episode Synopsis
My guest is Jackson MacKenzie. Jackson MacKenzie has helped millions of people in their struggle to understand the experience of toxic relationships. His first book, Psychopath Free (https://www.amazon.com/Psychopath-Free-Expanded-Emotionally-Relationships/dp/0425279995/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0/144-8048193-9032432?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=EZ5WWJ9YFJNZVV9QW85P), explained how to identify and survive the immediate situation. In Whole Again (https://www.amazon.com/Whole-Again-Rediscovering-Relationships-Emotional/dp/0143133314) he guides readers on what to do next–how to fully heal from abuse in order to find love and acceptance for the self and others.
Through his close work with–and deep connection to–thousands of survivors of abusive relationships Jackson discovered that most survivors have symptoms of trauma long after the relationship is over. These range from feelings of numbness and emptiness to depression, perfectionism, substance abuse, and many more. But he’s also found that it is possible to work through these symptoms and find love on the other side, and this book shows how. Through a practice of mindfulness, introspection, and exercises using specific tools, readers learn to identify the protective self they’ve developed – and uncover the core self, so that they can finally move on to live a full and authentic life–to once again feel light, free, and whole, and ready to love again.
