<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In <strong>Living and Loving after Betrayal</strong>, clinical psychologist and anger management expert Steven Stosny offers help to those who have experienced betrayal, abuse, deceit, or infidelity in a relationship. This book includes tips for overcoming betrayal-induced trauma and chronic resentment using a compassionate approach, and also explores less-talked-about betrayals, such as emotional manipulation, dishonesty and deceit, and financial betrayal.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Betrayal has many faces, including anger, abuse, deceit, and infidelity. These feel like betrayal because they violate the implicit promise of emotional bonds, that your loved one will care about your wellbeing and never intentionally hurt you. If you've recently left a relationship where you felt betrayed by your partner--or if you want to repair one--it can seem impossible to view the world without the shadow of past betrayal hovering over you. As a result, you may struggle to create meaning in your life, find the strength to forgive, or build new, loving relationships. <p/>In<em><strong>Living and Loving after Betrayal</strong></em>, therapist and relationship expert Steven Stosny offers effective tools for healing, based on his highly successful CompassionPower program. He founded the CompassionPower agency on the belief that we are more powerful when compassionate than when angry or aggressive, and that true strength comes from relating compassionately to others and remaining true to your deeper values. In this book, you'll learn practical strategies for overcoming betrayal-induced trauma and the chronic resentment and depression that result, using this innovative compassion-empowerment approach. <p/>Most books on betrayal only focus on the obvious issues, such as infidelity, abuse, or sex addiction. This book explores the effects of those kinds of betrayal, as well as less-talked-about types, such as emotional manipulation, dishonesty, deceit, and financial cheating. In addition, the book helps you regain a sense of trust in others so that you can eventually find another compassionate person to share your life with or, if you choose, to rebuild a relationship with your reformed betrayer. <p/>Recovering from the betrayal of partner isn't easy, but <em><strong>Living and Loving after Betrayal</strong></em>offers potent ways to heal, grow, and love again.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p> <em>Living and Loving after Betrayal</em> offers a strong rope out of the quicksand of misery and despair that couples sink into after a betrayal.
