Find healing and move on from the past in the face of loss, confusion, and pain.
The Power of Closure
By Dr. Gary McClain
“If only I could get some closure…” If you’ve found yourself saying these words, you’re not alone. When you’ve lost a relationship, a job, or a loved one, closure can seem as elusive as it is necessary. Psychotherapist and relationship coach Gary McClain says it’s one of the most common — and important — issues his clients bring up.
In this empathetic and insightful guide, Dr. McClain explains why the promise of closure is so appealing — and why it’s not always all it’s cracked up to be. He walks readers through what closure is (and isn’t), the reasons we want it, how to seek it in healthy and productive ways, and ways to move forward when you don’t get the closure you’re looking for. Learn how to find peace and leave regret behind when you can’t stop obsessing about a fight with a friend or your world has been turned upside down by a breakup or when a loved one has died. Whether you’re dealing with the pain of loss, or are simply feeling the need to tie up a loose end, big or small, in a relationship, "The Power of Closure" will help you let go of the past and embrace the future.
