Adoption Healing ... a path to recovery Supplement (Adoption Healing... a path to recovery Book 3)

Book Synopsis: This addition to the Adoption Healing series contains information that was not included in the two originals. As in the originals, the reader is provided with a description of the aftermath of the separation of mother and child to adoption and the profound effects on their lives. This is followed by additional methods of healing the subsequent wounds, including more inner child work, new visualizations, healing affirmations, anger management and other thoughts and suggestions for healing. Every chapter includes a summary and exercises to do on one’s own.

“Joe Soll has probably worked with adoptees and first parents more than anyone else on the planet. His approach has always involved empathy, intuition and introspection, without which dialogue runs dry. Few know the depth of the adoptee and first parent experience as well as Joe Soll, especially the dark side, where loss and loneliness reside. Combining his experience, or perhaps we should say wisdom, with current therapeutic approaches, Joe creates an environment where growth can occur. Read his work, try it out, see how it works for you.” - Robert Andersen, M.D., psychiatrist, author of Second Choice: Growing Up Adopted and A Bridge Less Traveled: Twice Visited

“This is the Rosetta Stone for adoptees and the mothers who gave them up. If you are either, Adoption Healing is the book you read first for understanding the dynamics of being adopted and surrendering a child. Joe Soll has given us a thought-provoking handbook for discovering who we are. He leads us through the emotions of that discovery with compassion and gentle guidance. It’s hard work, but you’re not doing it alone.

The book gives a greater understanding of adoption and the great loss that surrounds us. But there is also hope within these pages. It’s about finding yourself and beginning the healing process that can lead to a more joyful life. It helped me so much in working through the emotions of adoption that when I finished reading it, I went back to page one and started all over again. It’s that good.” - Susan Hawvemale
