Part memoir, part self-help, Dr. Tracy uses case studies from her own practice to help you uncover old patterns and finally get unstuck in your relationships. One of these case studies is her own relationship with her husband.

I DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THIS weaves storytelling with practical, therapeutic advice, allowing you to assess your own relationship, learn how to work through conflict and express your feelings in a productive way. 

With unflinching candor and heartfelt empathy, she digs to the root of the issues that fuel our day-to-day relationship conflicts and illuminates the common struggle of what it means to be human: the incredible difficulty of showing up wholly and authentically in our most intimate relationship with others and with ourselves.
