Beyond Messy Relationships

Divine Invitations to Your Authentic Self

by Judy K. Herman

Psychotherapist Judy K. Herman tells her own story of a marriage upended by her partner's bipolar disorder, from a psychotic break and in-patient hospitalizations through long seasons of depression, and of what it took to stop losing herself in caring for someone else. Written like a memoir, with the therapist stepping in at the start of each chapter to draw out the psychological and spiritual lessons, the book covers over-responsibility, codependency, divorce, blended families and faith, and is meant for readers whose circumstances differ but who recognize the same pattern in their own relationships. Endorsed by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, authors of Getting the Love You Want.
