I’m delighted & honored to share the first #blurb for THE POWER OF PARTING from THE @lorigottlieb_author 🙏📘🙏 #thepowerofparting #abuse #survivor #estrangement #nocontact #lowcontact #cptsd #tpop

Many thanks to @katieroiphe1 for including my take on #estrangement from #toxicfamily in her candid, nuanced & wise piece in today’s @wsj wsj.com/lifestyle/rela…

I just received this copy of a dishy new unauthorized #biography. We can all agree on the title’s accuracy, but other portions of the book might benefit from a more rigorous fact-check

Of all the 1-star Amazon reviews for my book, #thepowerofparting (there are two), this is my favorite. Never mind that it’s not true; I take it as a compliment. Thanks, Daynie! #toxicfamily #abuse #cptsd #nocontact #lowcontact #estrangement #healing #tpop @PutnamBooks

My latest column..

For the first time in 15 years, I visited the house where my siblings & I were abused for decades. I doubt that placing a copy of #thepowerofparting there will exorcise any demons that linger there. But doing so felt like proof that I’ve exorcised demons that had long haunted me

I’m very happy to share my first blog post for @PsychToday. Going forward, my blog will deal mostly with the intertwined issues of #familyabuse & #estrangement. But first I’ll pay tribute to the author who convinced me that I could be an author psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-po…

My marvelous colleague & friend @maria.manuela03 handmade the best merch ever: a #tpop fridge magnet! The other 500 magnets on my office door pale in comparison 💙💛🙏💛💙 #thepowerofparting @PutnamBooks

#thepowerofparting just got a rave in the @nytimes! 🙏📘🙏 ⁦#abuse #cptsd #estrangement #nocontact #lowcontact #healing @PutnamBooks⁩ nytimes.com/2025/03/30/boo… via @NYTimes

Depending on which point I mark as the start of my journey, I’ve been waiting either 3 years or 6 decades for this moment—the arrival of the first finished copy of #thepowerofparting. 🙏🙏🙏 to @putnambooks, @aevitas_creative, & my #chosenfamily for getting me to this moment

I’m honored to see my take on #estrangement in the @nytimes 🙏📘🙏 #thepowerofparting @putnambooks nytimes.com/2025/03/02/opi… via @NYTOpinion

We New Yorkers haven’t been through anything like what our LA friends are enduring now. But we have had just enough contact with wildfires to feel deep sympathy & concern for all Angelenos. Sending them 💪 & ❤️

I just sent off this print to an excellent customer. I’m very grateful to him & to all the excellent folks who support my work with your ❤️s, your $, & your kind words 🙏📷🙏 #rainy #esb #nyc

New year, new review! In fact, this is a pull quote from the very first review for #thepowerofparting. It comes from a trade mag that often approaches books by publishing insiders with a jaundiced eye. So, I greet it with a “phew!” and a “yay!” #cptsd #estrangement @putnambooks

A few of my friends have asked if I’d be narrating the audio edition of #thepowerofparting. It would seem the answer is: yes! Day 1 was grueling but fun. A couple more days to go—unless I narrate at 2x speed.. #abuse #survivor #cptsd #estrangement #nocontact #lowcontact #tpop

If you’re a #survivor, please consider keeping these gifts for yourself this year.. #abuse #trauma #cptsd #estrangement #thepowerofparting #tpop

While writing #thepowerofparting, I turned every day to the wisdom @sitwithwhit shares on her social, in her newsletter, & in her book, TOXIC POSITIVITY. So, getting these kind words from her about #tpop is pretty darn thrilling 🙏🙏🙏 #survivor #cptsd #estrangement #nocontact

What many other abuse survivors and I want most for Christmas.. #abuse #trauma #survivor #cptsd #estrangement #nocontact #lowcontact #thepowerofparting #tpop
