About the Book
With more than 50% of marriages ending in divorce, it is essential to learn how to create and maintain a conscious relationship. So many of our relationships don’t survive due to early childhood wounds that are carried into our adult relationships, then acted out in an effort to resolve conflicts from our families of origin.
We choose our partners more often for unconscious reasons, not realizing that we hire them to give us the worst nightmare possible in order to resolve our early conflicts-then we fire them for doing exactly what we hire them for. I Hate the Man I Love, brings our unconscious process into our conscious awareness so we can learn how to enjoy, appreciate and integrate the feeling of love and hate.
I HATE THE MAN I LOVE: A Conscious Relationship is Your Key to Success is available as an e-Book and paperback. It is a culmination of nearly 44 years of experience working with women who shared the same phenomenon — that of hating and loving the same man.

With sensitivity and skill, Joan E. Childs gets right to the heart of the stumbling blocks all couples inevitably encounter in long-term relationships. The title of the book says it all. Sometimes we really do hate the man we love! Through fascinating case studies and exercises, Childs provides the tools we need to repair and renew our union.

A refreshingly important read! I Hate the Man I Love is written from the unique vantage point of a seasoned psychotherapist who not only specializes in couple’s therapy but has first-hand experience as a multi-divorced single parent with five children. In relating the stories of several female clients, Childs examines—with real candor and wit—the conflicts and resolutions of each participant while offering professional wisdom.
