Let It Fall Apart: Unravel the Lies Keeping You Stuck and Trust Yourself Again (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780593994573)

Do you ever tell yourself you're fine when you're not? Things could be worse? It's too late to choose differently? Love is enough to fix everything? If yes, it's okay--we all lie to ourselves.

As couples therapist Maria G. Sosa explains, most of us lie to ourselves to keep the peace and avoid pain, especially in our most intimate relationships. But while everything may look fine from the outside, there comes a point when you have to decide: Do you keep lying to make things work? Or do you let it fall apart--and make room for the possibility of something greater?

In Let It Fall Apart, Sosa exposes twelve lies women have inherited that quietly hijack our lives and relationships, including:

• "Oh, it's nothing" (denial)
• "What more could I ask for?" (when the bare-minimum is too much)
• "There's a right and wrong choice" (black-and-white thinking)
• "This is how relationships are supposed to be" (the trap of the "shoulds")
• "This is what a good wife would do" (handed-down expectations)

Blending her journey through the unexpected dissolution of her marriage with insights from psychology, her patients, and therapeutic strategies, Sosa invites you to stop the cycle of self-denial and cultivate the necessary courage to choose self-trust over self-doubt, temporary discomfort over complacency, and disappointing others over a lifetime of self-abandonment.
