“As a therapist I would highly recommend this book to colleagues and clients. It's easy to read, and offers helpful examples, stories, and tools. The variety of situations covered under the umbrella of boundaries and co-dependency is insightful and pertinent. I love the QR codes at the end of each chapter that take the reader to resources. Sonja's experience, both professionally and personally give her a deep well to draw from and wisdom from the life journey she's trod. All this adds up to a gift of a book and person.”

“Everyone has difficult relationships. We cannot control other people's behavior but we can learn how we are allowing their actions to affect us. Everyone has heard of the terms "dependence" and "codependence" but it's difficult to see our own behavior clearly, particularly when we are struggling within a difficult relationship. Without help, we can easily become "lost" in a difficult relationship. And Then You Went Missing shares real life examples and practical exercises to help the reader see themselves and their relationships more clearly. Sonja Meyrer's writing style is conversational and easy to read. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic and includes links to further resources. If you've never done this type of self-exploration before, this book will be an excellent introduction for you! If you have participated in counseling or recovery work, this book will be an excellent workbook for deeper exploration or group discussion. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for all adults!”

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS AMAZING BOOK! I love how this book is hope-filled, direction-providing, practically applicable, and well-organized. It is easy to read but it is a book that you can read over and over again. I appreciate the clarity it brings to what we can actually do when we feel lost. Thank you Sonja for putting your wisdom in all of your years of curriculum writing, speaking, coaching, teaching, and sharing your life learning into a book!!!
