Unsafe Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231412099)

Why do we stay in relationships that hurt us? And how do we begin to break free-not just from the person, but from the pattern?

In Unsafe Love, Daniel MacLagan explores the emotional and psychological roots of survival mode-the hidden reflex that makes us stay in relationships long after they stop being safe. Drawing from personal experience, relational insight, and years of reflection, he helps readers understand what it really means to outgrow a role they were never meant to play.

This book is not about blaming yourself. It's about seeing yourself clearly. It's about:

• Why love can feel like pressure, not peace
• How emotional overfunctioning becomes your default
• What safety actually feels like (and why it's often mistaken for "boredom")
• How to recognize survival-mode relationships-and stop performing to keep them
• What healing actually looks like when no one's watching

Whether you're grieving a toxic dynamic, questioning your role in past relationships, or just beginning to understand how emotional survival has shaped your patterns, Unsafe Love will meet you with honesty, compassion, and clarity.

If you've ever said, "I don't know why I stayed," or "I don't know who I am anymore," this book will help you understand exactly why-and walk you back to yourself.
