foreword

I am in love and I am lost

But I’d rather be

Broken than empty

Oh, I’d rather be

Shattered than hollow

Oh, I’d rather be

By your side

First Aid Kit, ‘Shattered and Hollow’

My words feel like a gift that needs to be given. They are the words I have spoken for many years to couples and individuals in therapy, and the words I have learnt from many people struggling to make sense of their relationships. They are also what I have learnt from being in relationships myself. For many years, I have written them in notebooks, on my laptop and phone, and on little scraps of paper. Often, before I fall asleep at night, or when I am with couples in therapy, jogging, with my family, or walking on the beach, the truth about relationships comes to me like a light in the dark. As I have written and spoken these words over the years, I have seen how they have moved people and changed their lives.

I hope my words will give you direction, ideas and – above all – relief.
