About this listen

From the author of I Used to Be a Miserable F*ck, the Angry Therapist, an honest guide to breaking up and breaking through

Every breakup is a transformation. A breaking down and breaking through to a new version of who you are now, after you have severed ties. Nothing will change you like a broken heart. Yet every breakup is different.

John Kim, the Angry Therapist, has seen thousands of patients through breakups of every brutal, freeing, heartbreaking kind—and he’s lived through failed relationships and a divorce of his own. Through his journey as a therapist and as a partner and father, John has identified eight types of unique breakups—and how to get over them:

  • The Big One Break-Up (the One you Compare All To)
  • The Blindsided Break-Up
  • The “Flat Soda” (Mutual) Break-Up
  • The You Cheated/You Left Me for Someone Else Break-Up
  • The Soap Opera Break-Up
  • The Almost-Relationship Breakup
  • The Break Up That Never Ends
  • The D-word (Divorce)

Each type elicits different responses, requiring different approaches to healing and starting over. John offers a three-part guide to healing from heartbreak: We hear stories from him and his patients about the eight types of breakups, discover honest reflections about what really went down, and engage in Break Through Work to learn the steps necessary to truly heal and grow. John shows us how a breakup can be the ultimate tool for personal growth, where we discover bodies rewired, trauma processed, false beliefs dissolved, and new standards set.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Anybody can identify & relate

This book is one I had been waiting for since I have been listening to John for over a year. Last summer I found myself reading all his books until he released with his partner Vanessa “it’s not you it’s me.” I think that’s what the book was called. Anyway this book can connect with anybody that has gone through a breakup/ expired relationship. A great revival book that can inspire a healing and awakening to the reader.

Exactly what I needed to hear!

Very insightful and real. I love your honesty and transparency. My current situation doesn’t fit in one category described in this book, but is a combination of scenarios. The important take away is that every experience, good or bad is a learning experience. While we struggle to move through the emotions of our breakup, we realize all feelings and experiences are valid. Focusing on where we want to go, but not trying to cut out or remove where we have been from our story, helps us to embrace the lessons learned, but also manifest the life we want, a life where we are not trying to run away from, but rather run or walk towards.
