Publisher's summary

You're trying to get over your ex, yet you're still in touch and have ended up being his or her backup plan. Maybe you haven't left yet, but you want to and just don't know how. Maybe you're tired of doing the lather, rinse, repeat of getting back together and winding up back at square one. It's time to cut contact.

The No Contact Rule is an inspiring guide to extinguishing the temptation to stay in touch or to keep engaging, helping you to reclaim your sense of self and move on to a healthier relationship. Through her popular blog Baggage Reclaim, Natalie Lue has helped thousands of people break free from unhealthy relationships and breakups after using No Contact to kick a toxic relationship and transform her life.

Discover what NC is and how to do it, how to break an unhealthy cycle, and how to navigate various situations from Facebook to pesky texts, working together, sharing a child, or feeling trapped by your feelings and thoughts. Cut contact and put the focus on you. By treating you with the love, care, trust, and respect you deserve, this could be one of the best decisions you've ever made.

Amazing

I couldn’t believe how well the author described what felt like me.

The explanations were spot on describing thoughts, feelings, and situations. Very inspiring and left the listener feeling empowered to change.

Eye opening

If you are going through a divorce or a break up, this is for you.
I just left my abusive marriage and almost went back to him. trying to stay strong and believing that I did the right decision is hard.
Listen to this. it opened my eyes and I now see that deserve so much better and that he would ve never changed. It helped me not to contact him anymore. Moving out of our house and handling divorce with barely any contact.
I can't wait to go full NC when the divorce is final.
Thanks to this book I learned to listen to my needs and stop caring about him, somone who never appreciated me anyway.

My go-to for break ups

Over the past few years I go straight to this book (and her others) to help me get through the difficult emotions that come with a break up. Worth every penny.

Read before NC!!

A must read!! Definitely wish I would have read it before I have needed to go NC few times in my life that word gets thrown around so much but all of the emotional ups and downs are never really understood or explained. Also the narrator is excellent!
