Emotional Unavailability : Recognizing It, Understanding It, and Avoiding Its Trap by C. Kraemer (Las Vegas, NV United States)  5 Stars
August 02, 2009
Wow, this should be required for everyone, as mandatory reading in the lessons of life. I learned a lot, not only about the emotionally unavailable people I've been attracted to, but how I have had my own issues with being emotionally unavailable. Very informative and educational. Don't let the next generation be victims to this generations-long problem.

This is probably the best book I have ever read! by Rebecca Picazo (Okla.) 5 Stars
May 13, 2009
This book explains and points out signs of the many different kinds of people that are emotionally unavailable. Like the front of the book says 'recognizing and understanding....' this is exactly what it does. There are different scenarios presented through out the book giving you and even better idea of different emotionally unavailable types. Towards the end there is a quetionaire that helps identify where you might fit into in your current relationship. I really enjoyed the part over "toxic" people. I would recommend this book to anyone searching for answers about the people in their life and possibly looking to answers as to why some relationships just don't work.

Insightful Yet Compassionate... by Sam (California) 5 Stars
January 21, 2009
Finally, a book that tells it like it is. The information in this book is presented in a straight-up and direct manner, with vivid examples from real life situations that many of us can relate to instantly. At the same time, the author is respectful of the reader and congnizant of the fact that if you have purchased the book then you probably have a few painful stories of your own to overcome. This isn't just a book about identifying the emotional unavailability of others, but also takes a look at your own potential bent toward this condition and provides some useful tools for increasing your ability to open up to others. When helping us understand the main reasons behind emotional unavailability, the author reminds us that an explanation of the issue is not the same thing as an excuse for the behavior. If your life is negatively impacted by emotional unavailability, this book is well worth the time and effort it takes to read and absorb the information it contains.

Read This Book with an Eye on Yourself by JS 5 Stars
January 19, 2009
This is an excellent book for two reasons:
1- It will validate you in your understanding of the complicated nature of relationships and the fact that we all interact with damaged others.
2- It will give you tools for handling situations well.
The opening of the book was eye-OPENING to me! A parable of how it feels to be involved with someone who is emotionally unavailable. IF the story rings true for you, then I would say you are in an emotionally unavailable relationship.
My caution to anyone who is reading this book is to look at yourself more than you look at your partner. Because emotionally healthy people aren't generally attracted to emotionally unavailable people.
So--look at yourself. And read the chapters about what YOU can do to become more emotionally available. Go ahead and read about the "others" in your life, but remember to take personal responsibility.
The only way you will benefit from this book or any other self-help book is to become personally responsible and not use it as a tool for blaming others.
The book is well written and very helpful.

Helped tremendously and well worth it! by J. Swan 5 Stars
July 17, 2008
Being in an emotionally unavailable relationship myself, this book jumped out at me and has kept me glued to the pages since. It is very well written - flowing nice & easy to understand. I found MANY "ah-ha's!" and she has helped me see things clearly and put so many things into perspective. Collins has definitely helped me recognize and understand the patterns and types of people that has no doubt become a huge step in my growth as a person and in relationships. I recommend this book to ANYone, especially if you are in a relationship where you are constantly left feeling confused.
