Description
Making Your Crazy Work For You introduces a new concept: self-irrelationship, in which we inhibit ourselves from realizing our potential by shutting down our emotions and creativity. When we are cut off from ourselves-our feelings and desires-this state leads to a crazy-making, self-imposed isolation. We are making our crazy work against us, leaving us without an authentic sense of our own needs and without a capacity for true self-compassion and self-love.
Each chapter features new case studies, exercises, and tools for addressing what effects self-irrelationship has on an individual who hasn't been successful in forging or keeping a relationship but wants to be in a healthy one. This book answers questions the authors often receive on their popular blog, such as:
- How can I better understand irrelationship if I am single?
- How can I use what I've learned so I don't repeat the irrelationship cycle in the future?
- What if I'm the only one in my relationship who sees irrelationship as a problem?
