About this listen
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 has helped millions of people in their struggle to understand the experience of toxic relationships. His first book, Psychopath Free, explained how to identify and survive the immediate situation. In this highly anticipated new audiobook, he guides listeners 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 work with thousands of survivors of abusive relationships, Jackson discovered that survivors frequently have symptoms of trauma lasting long after the relationship is over. These may include feelings of numbness and emptiness, depression, mood swings, isolation, perfectionism, rumination, caretaking and people-pleasing, a need for control, physical maladies, substance abuse, and more.
But he also found that it is possible to work through these symptoms and find fulfillment and love on the other side. In Whole Again, he shares insights and tools for working through the protective self we've developed so that we can finally move on to live a full and authentic life - to once again feel light, free, whole, and ready to give and receive love.
Like Brené Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection and John Bradshaw's Healing the Shame that Binds You, Whole Again offers hope and multiple strategies to anyone who has survived a toxic relationship, as well as anyone suffering the effects of a breakup involving lying, cheating, and other forms of abuse - to release old wounds and safely let the love back inside where it belongs.

Critic reviews
“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)

The best healing and reconciliation book
The best healing book I have ever come across. it was like going to see therapist to find out what is going on and how to get in the other side. I cannot recommend enough. I think any person should read it. I think to get it in printed version now and have signed for therapist sessions now with knowing what do I want and need to achieve from them.

Love the method. Very applicable in starting to heal
I like the different examples and types of the true self rediscovery
. Also treatment of the “numbness” or “empty space/tingling/weird feeling/nothingness” people feel on a chest, stomach, wherever on the body, and what it is and how to heal it.

Profound
A hard book to read at the start but I stuck with it.. lots of self realisations and uncomfortable feelings arose but I found it overall really helpful. I am really glad to have stumbled across this. Thank you Jackson Mackenzie. I realise the I have a long journey ahead but I’m grateful for this insight. Although I was already well aware of it, it was helpful to hear it from someone else.

Helping me find myself again
This book really is incredible. Jackson MacKenzie puts forward psychological theories on moving on and becoming "whole again" in a way which is entirely relatable to the reader. Each idea presented is given either with a case example or e.g. to show how silly or ridiculous a certain way of thinking might be if applied to a different subject matter. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and felt the ideas presented will be useful to me for years to come. It was very well narrated also.

Useful
A number of ideas in here resonated with me but I struggled with understanding the authors background and where he has obtained this 'knowledge' from. But taken on face value and assumed correct, it is a useful tool for working through inner demons. Lots of labels and descriptions of characteristics... but I did find myself diagnosing Exes more than working out what applies to me.

Valuable and worthwhile but a bit repetative.
This is a good book and offers a good path of healing. I feel it is more aimed at people with peraonality disorders or those comming out of a relationship with them rather than people in general, although the main points apply to everyone and it is a helpful book. It is a bit repetative, all the chapters sound the same. He explains the concepts well and you move forward on your journey of intergration.
