We know heartbreaks are inevitable. We also know that somehow it is within our power to break free of the suffering and transform pain into meaning. Yet, somewhere between the sad songs, the late-night fixations, and the social media stalking, we get lost. Alice Haddon, psychologist, and Ruth Field, self-help author, show us how we can dissect heartbreaks, mine them for strength and live our most empowered life. They also examine how society sets up women to fall into love traps and engage bad habits of self-sacrificing and enabling. With Alice and Ruth’s help, those patterns end forever.

Her credit card bills are under her bed unopened.... But maybe the biggest problem for Alice is that she has a secret. A secret so big she can’t tell anyone.
