Self-help & Personal development

A practical and gentle guide to navigating the difficult relationships that shape your life, from KC Davis, beloved therapist and bestselling author of How to Keep House While Drowning.

Just as her bestseller How to Keep House While Drowning helped readers rethink their relationship with their home, so Who Deserves Your Love offers a framework for relationships—designed especially for those who feel overwhelmed, sensitive, or stuck. Navigating family dynamics, friendships, or romantic relationships, can feel impossible. In Who Deserves Your Love, KC Davis guides you with clarity and practicality. This is not a book about cutting people off. Rather, it’s about choosing connection and self-respect. Inside you’ll find: - The Relationship Decision Tree—KC’s step-by-step tool. - Why love can be unconditional, but relationships shouldn’t be. - Scripts for setting boundaries without guilt. - Diagrams, and short chapters designed with ADHD and mental health in mind. Who Deserves Your Love is for anyone who needs to repair a bond, build stronger connections, or let go with grace.
