The Jill Principle: A Woman's Guide to Healing Your Spirit After Divorce or Breakup
Why do fifty percent of first marriages end in divorce? Michele Germain, a licensed clinical social worker with twenty-five years of experience in divorce recovery, believes many long-term relationships fail due to unresolved "historical wounds" and unrealistic expectations. Emphasizing the body/mind/soul connection, Germain offers an effective, holistic approach to healing.
Her step-by-step program begins with exploring childhood trauma, self-criticism, and other painful feelings that reside in the body and mind. Guided meditations, bio-energetic exercises, and other techniques help one identify and overcome forgotten pain. To illustrate how she and hundreds of others have recovered from crisis and reclaimed their unique potential, Germain shares her own personal divorce story, along with moving anecdotes of women she's treated.

About the author
Michele Germain
10 booksI have been a psychotherapist and life coach for over 25 years. It is my belief in the power of healing that allows us to move forward through life with greater joy and self awareness by developing a deeper connection with ourselves.
It was through a health issue and my own relationship crisis that led me to ask myself the difficult questions: Why is this happening? What is my real path? Am I really connected to my body, mind and soul? What do I need to do differently?
This was my personal journey to consciousness and a deeper belief that any crisis or difficult situation is actually a disguised opportunity to grow and align with our true self. My life experience has compelled me to help others to move beyond their unique relationship difficulty or life crisis. When we have greater clarity we know more about ourselves and this awakens our personal power. This allows us to accomplish our goals, feel greater joy and create healthy relationships.

Someone gave this to me. If you're bitter, angry, are looking to place blame or be a victim, take a peek. It didn't work for me.
