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.

“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)

Wow, this book is exactly what I needed
This book is amazing. If you are in an unbalanced relationship it will explain exactly why and how to address it. Just buy it and read/listen to it. You will have so many OMG moments. I wish I had come across it years ago. It would have saved me years of trauma and suffering.

love almost everything
except the assumption of unconditional love that is typical from Humanistic approach.
if humans were good inside world would not have 2nd war, Nazism, nascisists, psychos etc.
Some disorders for me are psychiatric disorders instead of action of the protective self, unconscious etc.
Despite this difference of approach,.this book saves many lives - everybody had an abuser (emotional or physical). Maybe this book can also save you.

A life changing script flip
Thank you, Jackson, for giving us the permission to place down the luggage of the toxic shame thrust upon us in the wake of an abusive relationship with a Cluster B individual.

The final piece in my road to recovery.
I was diagnosed with CPSD over 18months ago. After listening to this book and adjusting my thoughts during meditation, I'm now confident the old me will return.
This book broke my heart all over again but this time it was for the pain and suffering I have unnecessarily been putting myself through for 5 years.
I cannot recommend this book enough.

What a great book and narrated beautifully
Just experiencing a breakup from a person with BPD, after 4 years and 5 major break ups we both decided to let this relationship ended. This book helped me to understand my feelings and painful experiences. Relate to my ex partners behaviour... stop finding reasons and faults, ways to fix the broken relationship and most importantly, self acceptance to love myself. Get this book and you will love it.
