Books as gifts.
Not every book is for every moment. These are the ones I would give, and to whom, and why.
For someone ending a relationship
The Waiting Is the Wound
For the months after. For when the leaving is done and the real work begins.
For someone who grew up in a difficult family
Born to Break the Cycle
For anyone who suspects the patterns they are living are not entirely their own.
For someone who gives too much
She Was Not Low Maintenance, She Was Trained
For the woman who learned to need nothing.
For someone questioning whether what happened to them was abuse
Was It Abuse?
For anyone who has minimized their own experience and is ready to stop.
For someone doing deep inner work
The Shadow Work
For someone who is ready to look at the parts they have kept hidden.
If you want something for everyone, You Are the Love You Seek works as a universal starting point.
