As a Partners Recovery Therapist, this read brought added insight to the impact of trust/commitment violations. I have readily recommended it to clients in my practice.
I was really disappointed with this book. There are a lot of statistics and information and I felt like he was making a case for the trauma a partner receives. I already believed that this is true so I did not need the proof that is offered here. The other downfall is it felt like he often was referring me to another resource to buy from him. This one was already spendy and the others were similar or more. I did like two chapters out of the book. The one on PTSD was pretty good and the one on counselors was insightful. Although much of what is bad was my previous counselor. But it will be good to have the info and the list of questions for the future.
