Embracing the messiness of real love, The Joy of Imperfect Love explores attachment issues and personal growth, uncovering the secrets to lasting, joy-filled connections. Stuck in unhealthy relationship dynamics? Yearning to find (or be) that perfect someone? Can you accept someone while also wanting them to grow? The key to healthy relationships is accepting that real love is messy, imperfect, and a work in progress! In the enriching pages of The Joy of Imperfect Love, clinical psychologist Dr. Carla Marie Manly guides readers on a transformative journey of compassionate, healthy love. With research-backed insights, captivating case studies, and empowering exercises, this gentle guidebook explores how attachment issues and unresolved personal issues negatively impact both self-love and the quality of our relationships. Dr. Manly offers sound solutions for creating the awareness and healthy habits that promote loving connection. Readers will breathe a sigh of deep relief as they discover the doable, real-life secrets to creating joy-filled relationships and genuine, imperfect love.
