I Want This to Work is couples therapy on paper, written by a licensed marriage and family therapist who built her readership explaining attachment and conflict repair on a social platform. The content is mainstream practice in that field: what to do in the first three minutes of a hard conversation, how to complain without contempt, what a repair attempt looks like when somebody is still angry. It is honest that a book is not therapy and says plainly when to go and get some. She runs a practice and sells courses, which is the business the writing supports.
