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.
