Women Who Love Too Much

Women Who Love Too Much by Robin Norwood is a groundbreaking and transformative book that delves into the patterns of thought and behaviour which cause some women to form addictive, unhealthy relationships. Through poignant real-life case studies and clinical insights, Norwood explores why many women repeatedly find themselves drawn to men who are emotionally unavailable, abusive, or incompatible, and provides hope and guidance for breaking this toxic cycle.

Is having somebody to love the most important thing in your life? Do you constantly believe that with the right man, you would no longer feel depressed or lonely? Are you bored with “nice guys” who are open, honest, and dependable? If being in love means being in pain, this book was written for you.

Therapist Robin Norwood describes "loving too much" as a pattern of thoughts and behaviour that some women develop as a response to unresolved problems from childhood. These women often gravitate towards partners who mirror their childhood issues, attempting subconsciously to resolve past traumas through present relationships. As a result, they find themselves in repetitive cycles of unhappy and destructive relationships, struggling desperately to make these doomed connections work.

This bestselling book is a lifeline for those caught in the throes of these addictive and unhealthy relationships. Norwood does not merely diagnose the problem; she also offers a specific and practical programme for recovery. Her compassionate yet no-nonsense approach provides actionable steps for women to reclaim their self-worth and learn how to love themselves first.

Endorsed by renowned authors and psychologists, Women Who Love Too Much has resonated with millions worldwide. Marian Keyes calls it “really brilliant” and profoundly relatable, while Erica Jong praises it as “a life-changing book for women.” If you're ready to transform your relationship patterns and embrace healthier, more fulfilling love, Robin Norwood's insights and guidance are invaluable.
