Synopsis
Most people who sabotage their relationships recognize that their broken past relationships aren't just the result of bad luck, and some even know the origins of this behavior. But breaking free from deep-seated fears and compulsions is not easy, and without help or therapy, relationship saboteurs will continue to apply the same formula to relationships and hope for a different result. Relationship Saboteurs is a guide to ending relationship-destroying behaviors, such as fear of intimacy, defensiveness, and needing to win, using Randi Gunther's model.
Each chapter covers one of twelve common relationship sabotaging patterns. Included in each chapter is a case study of a person with that pattern who overcame it and guidance for applying the author's model to that problem. The final chapter elaborates on this seven-step model and provides readers with additional information they can use to recover from the tendency to sabotage their relationships.
