“Overcoming Relationship Anxiety offers a refreshing perspective in a world where #relationshipgoals create the pressure to have a picture-perfect relationship. This pressure often leads to overwhelming doubt, anxiety, and confusion about whether you’re in the ‘right’ relationship. Dr. Courtney Paré brilliantly explains, ‘Relationship anxiety manifests less because of who your partner is, and more because of how your brain analyzes who your partner is.’ If you feel trapped in a never-ending cycle of overanalyzing your partner and your relationship, this book will be your guiding light. Having been in the trenches of relationship anxiety myself for years, I only wish I had discovered the wisdom in this book sooner.”

—Sarah Yudkin, relationship anxiety coach and founder of You Love and You Learn

“Overcoming Relationship Anxiety is an excellent book for those struggling with overwhelming doubts about their partner, caught in a cycle of ‘what if’ thoughts, or feeling lost, frustrated, or misunderstood in their relationships. It’s also a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their relationships and build more effective, fulfilling connections. This book teaches critical skills many of us were never taught, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to others in both my personal and professional life.”
