About this work

Description

"Partners of people in transition go through their own transitions and may or may not be conflicted as to whether they will remain in their relationship. This unique self-help workbook was created for and focuses on the partner's perspective and own journey. By offering the support and structure needed for partners to reflect, this resource helps navigate the unexpected transition that affects both of their lives. Providing an essential tool that is currently missing, this book gives guidance and advice, alongside activities, quizzes, and personal anecdotes. As the partner of someone who began to transition after 17 years of being in their relationship, the author combines portions of her own self-exploration, with the experiences shared by those who attended her workshops."--From cover.
