Book Synopsis

Closing the cycle is something almost all of us yearn for at some point, but few truly understand.

Whether you're dealing with the pain of loss or just feel the need to tie up a loose end in a relationship, The Power of Closure will help you let go of the past and embrace the future.

Review Quotes

"Everyone wants closure, but few know how to actually achieve it. The Power of Closure helps readers find acceptance and closure in even the most difficult situations. This book is perfect for anyone trying to navigate a transition and move forward." --Whitney Goodman, LMFT, author of Toxic Positivity

"Closure is one of the most important (and misunderstood) topics in the world of relational healing. The belief that closure is a 'have-to-have' lures us into unhealthy and repetitive relationship cycles. Dr. Gary McClain compassionately and skillfully navigates readers through the maze of myths and truths surrounding closure. His is a much-needed voice on this subject, and I would recommend this book to any of my friends, family, or clients who feel stuck on the closure loop." --Britt Frank, LSCSW, author of The Science of Stuck

"This book is for anyone who has ever experienced hard endings in life, like the death of a loved one following a long illness, and for those who've experienced soft endings, like the winding down of a relationship that had no goodbye, and no real resolution. Using a combination of clear-cut examples, tales from his professional experience, and interactive tools, Gary McClain dispels the notion that closure is something we should chase. Instead, he gives you concrete methods for finding it within yourself. I'm recommending this book to everyone who wants to take ownership over their own endings in life, so they can toward a healthier and happier future." --Tessa West, author of Jerks at Work and Job Therapy
