A wise and practical book for managing heartbreak and change. - Dorothy Rowe
I wish this book had been available during my first marriage, as the advice it contains would have saved me a bit of subsequent heartache. Denise Cullington doesn't just provide a guide to making break-up as painless as possible - she explores every aspect of relationships, both good and bad. If you are in an unsatisfactory relationship - or if you've already broken up and you're unhappy about it - then this book will not only make you feel better, it will help you avoid making the same mistakes again. - Jonathan Self
With immense psychological insight the Author draws on her own experience and on her clinical work to examine every aspect of so painful a process as breaking up. It is unique in its combination of depth and accessibility. It deserves to be a classic. - Margot Waddell, Psychoanalyst and Consultant Child Psychotherapist
...an excellent new book on surviving divorce... - Bel Mooney, Daily Mail
...it's to Denise Cullington's credit that she has authored such a useful book brimming with a very wise sense of recognition of what it is to be human... - Anthony Cantle
Seldom have I read a self-help book that has been so sensitive and empathetic, yet so challenging and constructive. Many of those who come to therapists for consultation have serious relationship difficulties; therefore I feel this book is useful for counsellors and psychotherapists and I would not hesitate to recommend it to clients. - Jenny Bloomer, Therapy Today, October, 2008

brimming with a very wise recognition of what it is to be human ... this is a book that lives and breathes for ... those looking for practical help in the middle of marital disarray ... a beacon of understanding at what are often some very dark moments . jargon-free. - Anthony Cantle, British Journal of Psychotherapy
compelling authority and depth that grabs the attention of the reader from the outset. hugely helpful... it left me feeling hopeful. - Christopher Vincent, British Journal of Family Therapy
rich psychological insights are expressed in a refreshingly direct and accessible way. - Journal of Analytical Psychology
The author teases out all the tangled threads of feeling, and once disentangled they seem less frightening, enabling the overwhelmed confused person to feel that he/she is a sane person who is upset and caught up in a process, rather than a crazy person who is trapped and not understood. I wish I'd had your book thirty years ago. - Dr Gill Flower, Amazon.co.uk review
She writes with a kind of controlled urgency... The book never talks down to the reader: its talkative register, and a complete absence of evasiveness in the advice, means that the person addressing you may be terse, funny, sometimes brusque - but can be trusted... It's actually really, really good... - Jim Pye, Oxford Psychotherapy Society Bulletin
