Breaking Upwards: How to divorce well – a guide from separation to renewal (Unabridged‪)‬

Divorce is not just a legal process, it's a devastating emotional experience which all too often brings both parties to the ground. But it doesn't have to be so traumatic ...

Divorce is not just a legal process, it is an emotional one too. The break-up of a relationship can be devastating, leaving you overwhelmed with anger and grief.

As Charlotte Friedman shows, it doesn’t have to be that way. A former family barrister, Friedman decided to move from the courtroom to the therapist’s chair in order to help people manage the emotional fall-out of divorce.

She offers calm, therapeutic advice on everything from how to manage loneliness to letting go of grievance, and draws on illuminating case studies to answer such questions as:
• How long before I get over this divorce?
• How do I tell the children?
• How do I cope with the new partner in my ex’s life?

This book is designed to give you the confidence to create a genuinely positive new story.
