Healing After Toxic Relationships by Ava Linden is aimed at helping readers recover from bad relationships and embark on a path of personal improvement. From visualization techniques to behavioral experiments and practical strategies for aligning actions with narrative goals, the book provides lessons for embracing a path of growth and personal development. Readers are introduced to the key concepts of narrative therapy, as well as the steps to take to disengage from toxic narratives and enhance neurodivergent relationships. Healing After Toxic Relationships is designed to give those who have experienced harsh heartbreaks and abusive relationships another chance to live an amazing and healthy life. Through practical guidelines, stories, and eye-opening psychological topics, it shines a light on a path of true enlightenment and transformation.

I loved the examples since they helped me have a better understanding of the theoretical aspects of the book. One particularly memorable example reveals Sarah unpacking the origin of her perfectionist tendencies through a combination of structured exercise and open exploration. The chapters are quite educational, complete with various psychology topics and engaging ideas that are shared in simple, accessible English. Linden's words are not only insightful but also therapeutic and pleasing. Readers will understand thought-provoking concepts like codependency and cognitive-behavioral therapy as they learn to know themselves more profoundly and to better understand the intricacies of relationships. Healing After Toxic Relationships is a must-read for anyone serious about becoming the best version of themselves and individuals who have suffered the pain of a bad relationship. I strongly endorse this inspiring and transformative book by Ava Linden.
