Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Lia Roth, a psychoanalyst with a wealth research, academic and clinical background, combines her deep expertise in the complex world of the human mind and relationships.
With a psychology degree from the University of Buenos Aires and advanced studies at Washington University in St. Louis and the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis, she knows her way around the messy minds and twisted emotions we all try to hide.
Her new book? It's a fire-starting manifesto for anyone who's been spinning in the middle of a relationship without moving forward. Stuck in the 'gray zone'? Dr. Roth says that's no place to be. Here's the deal: it's not about giving an inch, taking a mile, or lying down for the sake of so-called "compromise." No way. If you're selling out your own dreams just to keep the peace, you're not living in love, you're surviving. Which is a huge difference.
Dr. Roth dives into her 'binary relationship theory, ' blowing up the idea that love is a compromise. It's a dynamic balance where it's all about you, me, and the spark we're creating together. If it's dead, if it's toxic, if it's stealing your vibe: fix it or nix it, but for the love of sanity, don't just hang around hoping it'll magically get better. That's what this book is here to shake out of you.
And betrayal? Oh, it's deeper than "someone did me wrong." Dr. Roth cracks it open, betrayal doesn't just crush trust; it shakes you to your core, twisting your sense of self until you barely recognize who you are ..and, no, this isn't some PTSD story. It's an identity crisis, a total wake-up to everything you're made of. Drawing from semiotic theory (yup, the study of signs and symbols), she shows you how betrayal strikes on a level most people don't even see coming.
Loaded with Dr. Roth's no-BS insights, raw stories, and a big punch of sass, this book gives you the map to escape the cycle, regain your confidence, and walk out stronger than ever. This isn't just some feel-good read; it's your blueprint to take control, live bigger, and find the strength you never knew you had. If this feels uncomfortable, good. Growth is supposed to stretch you!
