"I isolated myself for a long time due to severe alcohol dependency--and this workbook shed light on relationship recovery skills that I hadn’t even considered. The exercises in each chapter promote deep self-reflection and help you take action for personal growth. The chapter on emotional intimacy was the most useful information I’ve read so far in my recovery journey. For anyone looking to create more meaningful relationships--both new and old--this workbook is for you."--J.W., Dallas, Texas-A high-quality Guilford workbook that…could be used as a supplement for therapy or for self-help. It could easily be used as a curriculum for group therapy. It has a host of useful worksheets and exercises to both learn skills and identify areas for improvement. I read this book hoping to learn more about skills for setting and maintaining healthy boundaries and I ended up learning and being exposed to more skills than I had anticipated. My expectations were high and this workbook exceeded them! I'd highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking to improve their relationships in the context of difficult life circumstances or clinicians who work with individuals who are seeking to improve their relationships while in recovery.--Advances in Cognitive Therapy, 12/1/2021

This compassionate, judgment-free guide shares powerful tools you can use to recognize the differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships, set and maintain boundaries, reestablish emotional intimacy, communicate your feelings and needs, and end harmful relationships respectfully. With inspiring stories and easy-to-use worksheets (you can download and print additional copies as needed), this book lights the way to a life untethered from addiction--and filled with positive connections
