This workbook is like having a trauma-informed divorce coach on speed dial in the middle of the night! From its opening pages and throughout every chapter, Kim vividly articulates the challenges faced by survivors of betrayal-related divorce. Through the crucial bedrock of validating practical emotional acuity, Kim tenderly invites readers to redefine themselves and their proverbial “widowhood," by introducing an updated vocabulary saturated with insight, intuition and empowerment. For anyone along the trajectory of healing from a relationship that didn’t survive betrayal, consider making this workbook your new best friend. You’ll be glad you did."
