Who Deserves Your Love

How to Create Boundaries to Start, Strengthen, or End Any Relationship

De: KC Davis LPC

Narrado por: KC Davis LPC

A gentle approach to hard relationships, this is a new, practical approach to relationships from celebrated therapist KC Davis. She will help you determine which relationships are right for you—and which are not—and what to do about them.

Is love conditional? What do you do about a relationship where someone’s best efforts are hurting you? When should you step away?

KC Davis, the renowned therapist who specializes in difficult relationships, asks and answers these questions. Just as she helps you design a functional home in How to Keep House While Drowning, here she applies the same bold but gentle approach to relationships so that they function, too. She helps you navigate decisions in every type of relationship, whether romantic or platonic. Recognizing that it isn’t always realistic to cut loose the people who rattle you, she explores how to protect yourself in those situations.

With radical honesty, KC explains:

• Why conflict can be intimate
• Why the small moments are big for healthy relationships
• How to handle vulnerabilities—yours and those of other people
• How to establish standards
• Steps to emotionally regulate in moments of struggle
• The Decision Tree that walks you through choices

Who Deserves Your Love is a gentle approach to hard relationships and is written in short bursts of text with visual tools such as lists and diagrams. The writing style is suited for those with ADHD, depression, or anyone who appreciates expertise without being overwhelmed by lengthy descriptions.

the new gold standard on Englewood relationships

KC's books are a refreshing, modern take with a gentle and straightforward approach on any topic whether it be housekeeping or relationships. KC's personal experience as well as her career as a therapist with a specialty in addiction recovery informs the compassionate and nuanced approach to relationships that is easy to understand and apply. this book is descriptive, not prescriptive. it will help guide you in tricky issues in all kinds of relationships (familial, platonic and romantic), as well as provide definitions and context for many pop psych terms that have entered into cultural jargon without people truly understanding their meanings. she takes on boundaries in a way I've never heard before and her examples give clarity. she's also a FANTASTIC narrator of her own book. I truly hope this makes it into the hands of many people. it is so needed.

KC does it again

KC's second book tackling the BIG QUESTIONS about relationships is just as informative, engaging, and compassionate as her first. This book gives you a guide to navigate relationships while keeping true to oneself that's plainly spoken, and easy to understand. She offers clarity for complex situations and beautifully helps the reader to consider or reveal their relationship needs. An invaluable companion for those seeking to understand human relationships.
