Summary: Wonderful book from many aspects..
Comment: This was a really good book. When I broke up with my boyfriend, I told him he was "emotionally unavailable". I didn't know there was ACTUALLY a book about it. Anyhow, while I read it, I realized that I was just as emotionally unavailable as he was. I realized I had poor communication skills and was constantly "blaming" him. Anyhow, it's a great book at not only looking at your partner, but looking at yourself to see what kind of self-growth changes need to be made.

Summary: Recognising Emotional Unavailability Just Became Easier
Comment: Dr Bryn Collins has written a marvellous book about recognising patterns and styles of people who are emotionally unavailable. She writes a very descriptive picture at the start about what it really is like to be with an emotionally unavailable person - and it's just so "spot-on". Dr Collins describes each of the types of emotionally unavailable people using very real examples for each type. Dr Collins also goes on to give you tools for changing and growing and helping you recognise the ways you may be emotionally unavailable. I *love* this book. It should be part of all school's curriculum!! Great work Dr Collins - this is one of the best book's I have read. And I did read it from cover to cover; something I have never done with any other book!

Summary: A Glimpse Into Who You Are..
Comment: I read Dr. Collins' book just after the break-up of a major and important relationship in my life. Once I came up for air and started wanting to live again, I had to take an honest look at my life - seems I was into a pattern of selecting men who fell into the "emotionally unavailable" category. I could have gone on and on to all my friends (and anyone who'd listen) about how awful men are, but I decided instead to accept some responsibility for myself and learn what it is/was about ME that fell for the emotionally unavailable man. Wow. Thank you, Dr. Collins, for mapping out why I was attracted to the unhealthy behaviors. I discovered just HOW and WHY I went from a relationship with an intellectually emotionally unavailable man to one who is narcissistic, controlling, manipulative, and ... well, I daresay toxic. (He rated 109 on the final test!) Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire! The one common denominator in all of my relationships is/was me. And finding out why I chose the emotionally vacant man (no matter what form those vacancies took and how the men exhibited those behaviors), has given me a new understanding and powerful place to begin my life from here! Starting with oneself is ALWAYS the best place to begin, and I feel very good about who I'm now becoming. I'm trusting myself, my soul, and my instincts. My belief system is strengthening and I feel a new value in life - that of knowing and listening to who I am, and defining myself without the assistance of someone else because of an unhealthy need of mine to be accepted. Yes, as you can guess, a lot of this goes back to childhood experiences, and Dr. Collins gives her readers a way to look back without blame, to see the truth, and move forward in a new, healthy, and productive way. Thank you, Dr. Collins! You shed the light and showed me a new path!
