Life without Bullying is a practical guide by Lynda Bevan the third book in the ten steps to empowerment series. If you want to stop being emotionally dependent on your partner and become independent Lynda will help you find your way. I would like to add that if you are a codependent or a people pleaser this is an excellent guide to help you get your self esteem back to a normal level. I have personally been in relationships that I would comply and never say "NO." This is something that in my late forties I find that I developed by by my upbringing in a strict Catholic life style brought on by how I was raised. You will learn the thinking process of a victim and will learn to transfer from the role of victim to the role of survivor. By changing your role, attitude and being positive you will discover for yourself changing yourself is the best thing you can do even if the other person or spouse refuses. I remember when I was married to an alcoholic that I wanted to heal his drinking problem, not my own. I joined a group and found out that I can change myself and I can change the outcome with the group help and advice. It was the hardest thing to open up and realize I was part of the problem by being a drinker. I did change and I did stop drinking but my spouse did not and we divorced but it was a blessing in disguise. Miracles do happen and you can have a life without bulling become a survivor today! My friend gave me this book free to my unbiased review. © 2016 Jackie Paulson… (more)

Stop being Pushed Around (A Practical Guide) by Lynda Bevan
This is the 3rd book in the 10 step empowerment series.
I loved to learn more about being a “victim.” Are you a victim? Does Fear control you? How do you become a victim? Do you want to change? The process of change takes time and patience with yourself and with others. This book gives you a guide written by experienced therapists for solving real life problems, once and for all. If you feel you are a “victim: or living with one this book answers all of your questions.
• What victims “thinking process involves.”
• How to stop being a victim and go to the role of survival.
• Identifying how you become a victim and how to you can change your thinking and behavior.
This book is necessary to relive your past in order to find out how and why you become a victim. Then you can permantely heal. You will learn how to go from being emotionally dependant on your partner to becoming emotionally independent.
I really learned all I wanted to know about being a victim and how to get out of it. I think most women feel like a victim at some point in their lives. This book will help me as well as you to break free, finally.
I would like to thank Review The Book for my copy in exchange for my honest review.

A divorce or a break up from a long relationship is hard no matter which side of the break up you fall on. It can be devastating. How do you pick up the pieces of your life and move on? How do you deal with the emotional distress? How do you accept that your relationship is over? This book can help. "Life After Your Lover Walks Out" is a step-by-step tool you can use to guide you through the emotional devastation caused by a break up. It will help you “move on from a negative emotional experience to a positive emotional outcome.”

Lynda Bevan guides you through each step of the process, providing the reader with insights into emotions they are feeling. Each emotion is examined. Bevan’s tells why these emotions are present and shows the reader how to deal with them and move past them through self-examination.

This book is written in a generalized way to appeal to and be able to help the widest range of people. It’s written in 10 steps that cover everything from the initial falling apart to the new you that emerges out of the break up. It’s purposefully condensed so the reader can easily find the information they need quickly and easily. That being said there are parts I wish were expanded on.

I’m recently divorced and I found this book to be useful. It showed me that my emotions I was feeling, anger, loss, regret, are all normal. I read this book straight through but I think it would also be useful to just read each step as you are ready for it. In the About the Author, I read that Bevan is on her third marriage, so she really knows what she’s talking about because she’s been through it, twice, and she still managed to move on. I recommend this book for anyone going through a tough break up.

How to Forgive: A Practical Guide is aimed at people, young and old, with emotional problems of letting go or suffering from a terrible trauma like abuse. Do you blame someone for hurting you? Do you have built up anger? Have you hurt somebody else? If you said yes, then you might have a problem with forgiving. Its not easy forgiving someone for emotionally or physically damaging you, but it is possible to forgive when you can fully understand your true self. It’s difficult to let things go, but life can be so much better without this guilt on your shoulders.

During my thirty year of life, I have had problems forgiving people for the emotional trauma that I endured while being bullied through my childhood. Years after graduation, I still blamed them for my life’s problems, but eventually I was able to forgive and continue with my life. Author Lynda Bevan, just like the title suggests, uses a practical approach to help you fully understand why you can’t forgive, and how you can. I recommend the book to councilors, teachers, and readers of all ages.
