About this listen

 A sanity-saving guide that cuts through the sky-high expectations of modern love and helps you build healthier and more fulfilling relationships, from the creator of viral Instagram account YourDiagnonsense

“Witty, practical, fun, and deeply honest.”—Terrence Real, New York Times bestselling author of Us

You’re not crazy. You’re human.

Modern love is a mess and life is (spoiler alert!) very hard. Whether you’re in a committed relationship or on the apps, buckle up, there’s a lot to unlearn.

How to Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind is your guide to sanity in a culture gone mad. Psychotherapist and sex therapist Todd Baratz blends sharp humor with raw insight as he challenges us to break every rule about love. It’s time to move beyond the relentless pursuit of the perfect partner, to challenge the stigma against neediness, and to rethink our obsession with diagnosing common challenges as disorders.

Instead, he offers an empowering new perspective: Embrace challenges, feel deeply, make mistakes, learn, and grow. Drawing from his extensive experience as both a therapist and a patient, Baratz shares stories of navigating his personal traumas and guiding others through theirs.

This book is an invitation to understand your life as part of a larger cultural narrative. It encourages you to delve into your history, cultivate self-awareness, and take responsibility in your relationships. By doing so, you can move beyond the fairy tale and transform your approach to love.

This is a great warning and reminder not to overanalyse our important relationships to death. At the same time, the writer also sees how trauma can be made even worse through popular psychology that encourages such overthinking, to the detriment of those doubting our ability to love. Such a unique and important point to make. The author shares his own experience of lost love, and I appreciate his wisdom and vulnerability. Listen before you analyse your partner to pieces.

This book is very helpful in my journey of self discovery and developing better relationships with others. It cuts out the self-help new age crap and isn't overly sentimental. It is grounded in Todd's experience with his patients and also from Todd's own experience of trauma and self discovery. Todd's references are good and he has a great voice for narration. If you expect this book to solve your problems, you'll be hopefully pleasantly surprised that it is a guide to assist you in facing your complexities head on. Let yourself feel in order to heal. Thanks Todd, I wish you all the best in your life. =)
