Getting to Good Riddance

Getting to Good Riddance takes you through the break-up journey, starting with the stages of grief and self-doubt to the possibility of acceptance, gratitude, and hope. Despite the pain, you will learn to use humor and some profanity to keep you out of the fantasy world and in the reality of true closure and moving on. I love all the suggestions for positive psychology, meditation, and healthy living to cope with the loss of a relationship. The journal exercises are real tools to understanding red flags that a previous relationship was not going to endure, as well as identifying qualities and must-haves in the next relationship. This book is practical and will help you move out of loneliness and despair and hopefully propel you to find self-love, happiness, and the strength to build a better life. This book helped me through my divorce after 22 years of marriage and will be a great resource to my patients, family, and friends who may be going through a breakup. -Lori Washe, MD, medical director and physician at Premier Private Physicians in Troy, Michigan, and faculty member at Oakland University William Beaumont Medical School Real from cover to cover. A rarity to find a resource to provide clients that is rooted in the science of behavior, provides intentional self-compassion, and a bonus a spoon full of profanity needed to take the edge off and get to the business of healing. This is a gem, funny to the bone. -Nicole R.
