★★★★★
The author used the premise that first and foremost: We are emotional beings.
It is clear that the author created this book to delve into how emotional wellbeing is tied to understanding and navigating our emotional responses in our relationships.
Her definitions and explanations around emotions are perceptive and insightful. Guilt and disgust are two that had me upgrading my own thoughts on the definitions.
IT HAS PICTURES! The images are a nice addition in that they give a visual to the emotions covered. They are well done and impactful.
The 5th chapter is a gamechanger on how your emotional reactions affect your ability to divorce well. She defines many emotional reactions that get in the way and how they can be handled in a healthy emotional response. Topics include revenge, vindication, and buyer’s remorse. Chapter five also talks about childhood trauma and its role in adult divorce.
A BONUS is the questions for self reflection at the end of each chapter. Worth journaling over.
I gave it five stars because it is well done, and it is easy to see yourself in the explanations. Simple language done with care and discernment.— Mickey Mikeworth
