The Gal Guide to Breaking Up Without Breaking Down
Description
We humans are desperately afraid of endings, they always seem so sad. Is there such a thing as a happy good-bye? Does separating yourself from anything sound like it could be anything less than acutely painful? Although we are wired to instinctively avoid things that we know will hurt us, that's not to say that all discomfort should be avoided at all costs. When it comes to ending an unhealthy relationship, the agony is temporary; the subsequent bliss may last forever. The short-term pain is worth the long-term joy that awaits us once the wounds have healed. And the wounds always heal. Always. The Ex-Whisperer helps you open your eyes to see and guides you to do what needs to be done.¿
¿
The Gal Guides are for smart women who have temporarily misplaced their power. The Ex-Whisperer is an expert best friend who's here for you. She's also an expert on exes. She's the Ex-Whisperer. Fact-packed, and give-your-head-a-shake relationship and lifestyle advice laced with personal confessions and a healthy dose of humour. Put the kettle on or crack open that bottle of Chardonnay and say hello to your new BFF.
