Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Marriage and Relationship Junkie
Sherry Gaba · 2020
68/100
👎 Skip It
Sherry Gaba brings a useful dual lens — personal survivor and licensed clinician — to the underexplored territory of relationship addiction and codependency. The guidance on reclaiming identity after leaving a destructive relationship is practical and direct. But mainstream critical coverage is absent, the personal and clinical voices sometimes blur in ways that reduce clarity, and readers seeking a faith-integrated healing framework will need to look elsewhere.
