How to Fall in Love

"A wonderful handbook on relationships, which requires you to be brave, dig deep and face your fears about falling in love" - Suzy Greaves, Editor-in-Chief, Psychologies magazine



Are you struggling to understand why you're single or why none of your relationships work out? Do you find yourself drawn to unavailable partners and to people who won't commit? Do you lose yourself in relationships or find yourself needing your partner too much? Do you find it difficult to meet eligible men or women or to find emotionally healthy people attractive? Do you look on with bemusement as friends and relatives fall in love, wondering if you'll ever meet your match?



If the answer is 'Yes', this book will help.



'How to Fall in Love' is a dating and relationships guide with a difference. It's for people who are looking for something deeper than superficial advice and who are willing to explore the real reasons for their singleness. It combines moving memoir with practical insights and tried and tested tips.



In this book, Katherine Baldwin takes you on a journey of personal transformation, helping you to identify and challenge unhealthy relationship patterns and negative core beliefs, many of which will have deep roots, and to find the answers to your dating dilemmas within yourself.



She helps you to deepen your connection with your authentic self, grow in self-esteem and confidence, reconnect with your intuition, break ties with lost loves, let go of the fantasy of the perfect partner, become open to dating people who aren't your usual type and set loving boundaries for dating so that you're open to love but protected from deep hurt. She encourages you to mature emotionally and make bold choices so that you can form a healthy, loving and long-lasting partnership.



This book is about much more than dating and romance, however. It's about learning to thrive, not just survive. It's about discovering and fulfilling your dreams and creating a life that's truly aligned with your heart's desires.



If this sounds like something worth fighting for and you're willing to step inside and do some work on yourself in order to change your relationships and change your life, this book is for you.



The 10 steps in this book are based on Katherine's own transformational journey that enabled her to fall in love in her early forties after years of dating disasters, unhealthy relationships, obsessions with unavailable men, self-sabotage and singleness.



At the start of her inner journey, Katherine was a high-flying adrenaline junkie - an international news journalist who reported for Reuters from the Houses of Parliament and travelled the world with former Prime Minister Tony Blair, all the while bingeing on food to cope with stress, chronic low self-esteem and imposter syndrome. She was wedded to her job, fiercely independent and had little time for romance.



After working the steps in this book and going on a journey of personal development, she is now married to an emotionally healthy man, living by the beach on the Dorset coast and flourishing in her second career as a transformational coach, author and speaker. Katherine coaches women and men to have healthy relationships with themselves and with others and to create lives they love.



This revised and updated edition of the book features a new chapter about Katherine's engagement, in which she shares honestly about the doubts and dilemmas her partner's long-awaited marriage proposal threw up. It also includes a section on ambivalence about motherhood as well as feedback from the women Katherine has coached since the first edition went to print in 2017.
