This chapter advocates for creating "Problem-Free Zones" in relationships where one partner has serious issues, arguing that caregivers must protect their own well-being and maintain boundaries rather than becoming entirely consumed by their partner's problems, which ultimately benefits both people and strengthens their ability to help effectively.
The Road to Reconciliation describes a path towards healing and potential forgiveness for anyone in a relationship affected by selfishness, violence, abuse, addiction, or betrayal. It guides the reader (or podcast listener) on how to assess the damage done and recognize codependency and vindictiveness, blocking the way from injury to peace. It gives pragmatic advice on how to help you find safety, assert needs, apologize, make amends, and promote change.
