Here Today, Ghosted Tomorrow: When Someone Disappears from Your Life

Have you experienced a romantic partner, friend, coworker, or family member suddenly ending your relationship without communicating why? Ghosting is a relatively recent term for an old problem made much more prevalent in the age of social media. Ghosting involves cutting off contact and ending a relationship, leaving the other person feeling shunned and perplexed. Whether the context is dating, social media, the workplace, families, friendships, or church, ghosting is an insensitive act at best and purposefully damaging at worst.

In Here Today, Ghosted Tomorrow, Dr. Gregory Jantz explores what ghosting is and why it matters; why people ghost; the damaging effects of ghosting; what to do if you’ve been ghosted; and how to heal in the aftermath. God intends for all of us to enjoy honoring, respectful, and joy-filled relationships. Dr. Jantz understands the hurt and betrayal that ghosting causes and draws on 35 years of clinical experience to provide perspective and practical steps to move forward. By the end of the brief healing journey of this book, readers will be well along the path to renewed strength and confidence.

Dr. Gregory L. Jantz is the author of over forty-five books, the host of the national Hope & Possibility podcast, a regular contributor to Psychology Today, and a popular keynote speaker.
