Break Up On Purpose - A Catalyst for Growth

An honest guide to breaking up and breaking through from the bestselling author of Single on Purpose, John Kim. Every breakup is painful. Yet it is also a transformation. A breaking down and breaking through to a new version of who you are now, after you have severed ties. Nothing will change you like a broken heart. Yet every breakup is different. John Kim, The Angry Therapist, has guided thousands of patients through breakups of every brutal, freeing, heartbreaking kind-and he's lived through failed relationships and a divorce of his own.
Through his journey as a therapist and as a partner and father, John has identified eight types of unique breakups-and can help anyone get through them: The Big One Break-Up (the One you Compare All To) The Blindsided Break-Up The "Flat Soda" (Mutual) Break-Up The You Cheated/You Left Me for Someone Else Break-Up The Soap Opera Break-Up The Almost-Relationship Breakup The Break Up That Never Ends The D-word (Divorce) Each type elicits different responses and requires different approaches to healing and starting over.
Utilizing his signature "self-help in a shot glass" approach, Break Up on Purpose is a three-part guide to healing from heartbreak. You'll find stories from John and his patients documenting every type of breakups, discover honest reflections about what really went down, and engage in Break Through Work to master the steps necessary to truly heal and grow. Break Up on Purpose shows us how a breakup can be the ultimate tool for personal growth, where we discover bodies rewired, trauma processed, false beliefs dissolved, and new standards set.
