Author: Beverly Engel

A powerful and inspiring guide to overcoming a syndrome that affects the lives of tens of millions of women

When it appeared more than a decade ago, the bestselling Women Who Love Too Much gave a voice to millions of women who sacrificed themselves to relationships with emotionally distant men. Now, in a groundbreaking book that will resonate with tens of millions of women of all ages, psychotherapist Beverly Engel exposes a much more pervasive and personally troublesome problem affecting an estimated seventy-five percent of women to some degree—the Disappearing Woman Syndrome.

Loving Him Without Losing You explores the lives of women who sacrifice their own identities and self-esteem to their relationships with men, along with their chances for personal and professional growth. Drawing on her twenty-five years of experience counseling women and families, Engel discusses the psychological, sociological, and biological roots of the problem. She provides quizzes women can take to determine if and to what degree they suffer from Disappearing Woman Syndrome. And she outlines a complete program featuring dozens of empowering exercises and action steps women can use to free themselves from the grip of this all-too-common disorder and transform themselves into women of substance. This book has the power to change millions of women's lives for the better for years to come.

This is a book of depth and power. I highly recommend it not only to women who lose themselves in their relationships with men but to the parents of adolescent girls who need to be taught how to view themselves as valuable beings separate from their relationships with men and boys.

When I was in college, we were all Disappearing Women. We didn't even think about it; that's just the way things were. Some of us grew out of it; some didn't. If we all had had this book, our lives might have turned out much differently. Buy this book so you can become your authentic self.
