Trigger Warning: the author uses the words “stroke” and “child” in the same sentence many times. The concept is a metaphor the different parts of ourselves and how they work together or against each other. I wish different verbiage was used.

The book talks about how to set goals for a separation and different types of separations.

There are a lot of examples of long-term relationships where people got to the point of wanting to separate - how they got there, what they did. There are discussion questions in every chapter.

I didn’t get much from the stories. Learning about the different types of separations was the most helpful part. The questions were somewhat helpful.
