From a leading voice on recovering from toxic relationships, a deeply insightful guide to getting back to your "old self" again--in order to truly heal and move on.
Jackson MacKenzie is the co-founder of PsychopathFree.com, an online support community that reaches millions of abuse survivors each month. Driven by personal experience, his mission is to spread awareness and give survivors a safe place to validate their experiences and heal after abuse. Jackson's work has been featured on HuffPost, MindBodyGreen, and Thought Catalog.
“In Whole Again, Jackson MacKenzie lays open some of his own
personal wounds to advise on how scars from past traumas can heal.
He describes how development of a ‘protective self’ can provide
acute, numbing relief from emotional pain, but at the expense of
more enduring self-acceptance. MacKenzie addresses co-dependency,
addiction, post-traumatic stress, and borderline, narcissistic, and
other personality disorders, outlining pathways to achieve
forgiveness and discharging shame. This book may help fill in the
holes that can make you whole again.”
--Jerold Kreisman, MD, co-author of I Hate You, Don’t Leave
Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality
"Jackson’s book is an empathetic gem of true knowing. Dismantling
the effects of trauma can be a daunting undertaking. Whole Again is
a compassionate guide. It takes your hand and encourages you to
keep going, prompting you to build a power base of self-discovery
that takes you home to yourself. All true healing happens within,
which in turn offers you the miracle of hope."
--Sarah Brassard, author of Inside: A Guide to the Resources Within
to Stay Connected to Your Truth, Even in Trying Times
"In Whole Again, Jackson MacKenzie has synthesized the
important basic principles and tools of healing and writes in a
style that is both warm and articulate. Whole
Again offers a good starting point for those not yet ready for
therapy or in conjunction with therapy. It is almost impossible to
deal effectively on your own with the effects of trauma and abuse,
but having a supportive community and using the simple tools in
this book can help you begin the journey toward healing."
— Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT, founder of A Psychobiological Approach to
Couple Therapy® (PACT), and author of Wired for
Love and We Do: Saying Yes to a Relationship of Depth,
True Connection, and Enduring Love
"Accessible, profound, and inspiring, the wisdom of Whole Again
guides us inward to uncover deeply buried feelings and undigested
pain that, left unaddressed, prevent us from experiencing our
wholeness. Through consistent and cumulative practices,
Jackson offers us a powerful, heart-centered, program that helps us
heal, inhabit our lives more fully, and remember our
wholeness."
--Jillian Pransky, author of Deep Listening: A Healing Practice to
Calm Your Body, Clear Your Mind, and Open Your Heart
"Jackson MacKenzie so lovingly and transparently delves deeply into
the trauma and sorrow that can stand in between us and our real
selves. This groundbreaking, must-read book brilliantly and
compassionately illuminates the path to healing. It is soul work at
its finest."
-- Avery Neal, MA, LPC, author of If He’s So Great, Why Do I
Feel So Bad?: Recognizing and Overcoming Subtle Abuse
"A powerful and moving force for good, Whole Again is grounded in
the author's own research and deep, knowing wisdom. Everyone should
have this book on their shelf."
--Erin Falconer, Author of How to Get Sh*t Done and founder of
www.pickthebrain.com
“I’ve read many books over the years about recovery from abuse,
both self-help and clinical, and WHOLE AGAIN is definitely one of
the best. Though not a therapist himself, Mr. MacKenzie has done
his homework. His descriptions of personality styles and disorders
are not only accurate but also understandable. The book is filled
with practical, well-researched and well-organized suggestions to
aid the recovery process. It’s clear that Jackson MacKenzie cares
deeply about the unique sensitivities of each reader. I love this
book.”
--Catherine McCall, M.S., (ret.) L.M.F.T., and author of
the international bestseller, Never Tell: Recovering from
Childhood Sexual Abuse
“This is a great book for recovering from any trauma or difficult
relationship, including relationships with Cluster B personalities.
As Jackson MacKenzie says, it’s not what you think—it’s what you
feel. To thoroughly understand what that means, read this book.
With this powerful information, anyone can become whole again.”
--Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq., author of 5 Types of People Who Can
Ruin Your Life: Identifying and Dealing with Narcissists,
Sociopaths and Other High-Conflict Personalities
