As a couples therapist, I’m often asked to help individuals and couples understand whether staying in a relationship is right for them, and it’s a question that carries immense emotional weight.

One book that I highly recommend is The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris. This book is a valuable resource for managing challenging emotions.

In The New Rules of Marriage, Terry Real offers a groundbreaking guide for couples seeking to deepen their connection and navigate the complexities of modern relationships.

Thema Bryant's Homecoming is a compelling invitation to readers who are on a journey toward self-discovery and healing. This book is wonderfully accessible to anyone interested in personal growth.

Stories of resilience and recovery are not uncommon in my practice as a therapist. Yet some narratives stand out, echoing the profound strength of the human spirit.

In the world of relationship therapy, Terry Real's "Us" emerges as a beacon of hope and insight for couples navigating the complexities of modern relationships.
