It's All Over. Break Up to Live

"The love boat crashed against everyday life", "We didn't match in character", "He's such a womanizer", "She's such a bitch" - similar explanations for the collapse of relationships have become commonplace. But what's really going on? Why did something that started so well come to an end? Norwegian psychotherapist Sissel Gran, who has many years of experience working with couples, looks beyond superficial clichés, revealing the processes that destroy relationships and explaining partners' emotional reactions. The author analyzes the stories of her informants - people who made the decision to end their relationships. The book will help understand the dynamics of relationships, find answers to the tormenting questions that remain after they end, and, by sharing the experiences of others, give readers a chance to avoid their own mistakes - to preserve love or to leave in order to find it. The book is addressed to everyone interested in couple relationships, and will also be useful for professional psychologists and psychotherapists. .
