Heal the pain of your past, so you can build the relationship you truly want today. If you felt unloved or unsafe as a child, you may have difficulty trusting others as an adult. You might struggle to maintain healthy relationships, or feel like you are somehow damaged. And if you're in a romantic relationship, you may have intense fears that your partner will abandon you, experience 'fight or flight' moments during disagreements, or avoid intimacy altogether. It's important for you to know that this isn't your fault. Beginning in childhood, unmet needs from our caregivers can leave lasting scars, hindering our ability to form healthy connections. Written by a renowned family therapist, this gentle guide offers an evidence-based approach to help you move past relational trauma-the psychological wounds that can result from experiences of abuse, neglect, or betrayal.

Heal the pain of your past, so you can build the relationship you truly want today.

If you felt unloved or unsafe as a child, you may have difficulty trusting others as an adult. You might struggle to maintain healthy relationships, or feel like you are somehow damaged. And if you're in a romantic relationship, you may have intense fears that your partner will abandon you, experience "fight or flight" moments during disagreements, or avoid intimacy altogether. It's important for you to know that this isn't your fault. Beginning in childhood, unmet needs from our caregivers can leave lasting scars, hindering our ability to form healthy connections. So, how can you heal and start building trust in your partner?

Written by a renowned family therapist, this gentle guide offers an evidence-based approach to help you move past relational trauma-the psychological wounds that can result from experiences of abuse, neglect, or betrayal. By building self-awareness, understanding triggers, and improving your communication skills, you can achieve the love and connection you deserve.

With this eye-opening guide, you will:
·Uncover the hidden impacts relational trauma has on your life
·Gain insight into the root cause of your relationship difficulties
·Understand how childhood experiences shape you as an adult
·Discover your own attachment style-how you relate to others
·Establish healthy boundaries in your relationships
·Learn to balance your emotions and improve communication

By cultivating the self-awareness needed to understand and heal from your past, you can change the course of your life-starting from within. Because in order to fully love anyone else, you must first love yourself. The skills outlined in this book will help you develop the self-compassion and self-knowledge you need to thrive-in love and in life.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):

UK Delivery

Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.

The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.

First Item @ £3.75 (sometimes a shipping supplement may be added for particularly heavy books or specific postcodes*)

Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
