Getting to Good Riddance takes you through the break-up journey, starting with the stages of grief and self-doubt to the possibility of acceptance, gratitude, and hope. Despite the pain, you will learn to use humor and some profanity to keep you out of the fantasy world and in the reality of true closure and moving on. I love all the suggestions for positive psychology, meditation, and healthy living to cope with the loss of a relationship. The journal exercises are real tools to understanding red flags that a previous relationship was not going to endure, as well as identifying qualities and must-haves in the next relationship. This book is practical and will help you move out of loneliness and despair and hopefully propel you to find self-love, happiness, and the strength to build a better life. This book helped me through my divorce after 22 years of marriage and will be a great resource to my patients, family, and friends who may be going through a breakup. -Lori Washe, MD, medical director and physician at Premier Private Physicians in Troy, Michigan, and faculty member at Oakland University William Beaumont Medical School Real from cover to cover. A rarity to find a resource to provide clients that is rooted in the science of behavior, provides intentional self-compassion, and a bonus a spoon full of profanity needed to take the edge off and get to the business of healing. This is a gem, funny to the bone. -Nicole R. Najar, PsyD, ABPP, Clinical Health Psychologist After a break-up, you probably need a motivational coach, a foul-mouthed best friend, and a wise sage who can guide you in the right direction. In Getting to Good Riddance, Jodie Eckleberry-Hunt gives you all three. She doesn't hold back. She knows you need to hear the truth, and she gives it to you with humor and warmth. This book is perfect for someone who wants to dig deeper and to figure out how to heal while moving forward with courage and clarity, Filled with practical strategies, wisdom from psychological research and questions to prompt deep personal growth, this book is exactly what you need to create more satisfying relationships. -Lisa Williams, LCSW, host of Self Help Bookshelf Podcast Getting to Good Riddance is a perfect balance of humor, case studies, science, and profanity! This book is concise and easy to read. Dr. Eckleberry-Hunt designed this book really well by giving case studies to make each topic relevant and follows up with real life strategies for moving on. She uses science and profanity to empower you to MOMF. This book is relevant to so many situations other than romantic break up-leaving unhealthy friendships, setting family boundaries, work relationships, and most importantly how to be more self-aware to take good self-care. Dr. Eckleberry-Hunt gives you the skills to own your own shitshow and create the life you want! -Jenny Williams, OT, owner of Innovative Occupational Therapy Solutions Dr. Eckleberry-Hunt loads Getting To Good Riddance with actionable, practical advice that will help you move through and beyond a tough break up. I especially enjoyed reading the relatable stories through the lens of how to transcend even very heart-wrenching situations with grace. As a divorce attorney and mediator for over two decades, I highly recommend this quick read for anyone struggling with the intense pain of breaking up. One day at a time with forward momentum is the only way. And when a day is too much, a moment. You can survive, and with this book, you can also thrive. -Gabrielle Hartley, Esq., top online divorce mediator, TEDx speaker, Author of Better Apart: The Radically Positive Way to Separate, founder of The Better Apart Method Long awaited and overdue. This is the book to guide one through the emotional roller coaster of a relationship break-up and to come out whole on the other side. Written with wisdom and straight-talk, based on scientifically proven coping strategies, Dr. Eckleberry-Hunt enlightens us with wit, spicy humor, compassion and self-revelation. In addition to coping tools and resources, this book addresses what love is (and isn't), and takes a frank look at just what happiness is and how to find it in a healthy relationship. It instills hope and promise that 'getting to good riddance' is not an end but rather a new beginning. -Anne Van Dyke, PhD, ABPP, Health Psychologist, Telebehavioral Health Therapist If you're struggling to get over a breakup, and you're having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, this book is for you. -Tri-County Times
