COME CLOSER: Childhood Wounds, Adult Love, and the Secrets of Emotional Intimacy

“With a rare combination of intellectual rigor and a powerful sense of intimacy, Galit Atlas beckons us into the inner worlds of her patients, as well as into her own world as a psychoanalyst, and illuminates the ways in which our childhood wounds shape our relationships. I dare anyone not to find herself within the pages of this beautiful book. Come Closer is a masterwork by one of the great thinkers of our time.” Dani Shapiro Dani Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of Inheritance

"Come Closer is an intelligent, wise, deeply compassionate investigation of the ways we play out patterns of emotional injuries in our closest relationships. Dr. Galit Atlas writes beautifully about how the therapeutic process changes not only her patients, but her own ways of connecting and loving. This book is an invaluable traveling companion for anyone exploring the territory of love, intimacy, and human interconnection." — Martha Beck Martha Beck, New York Times bestselling author of Beyond Anxiety

We had a great time at Word on the Street this year! Gorgeous weather drew big crowds, and we met lots of people who were delighted to learn that Toronto has a specialty bookstore with a psychology and mental health focus. We also saw lots of familiar faces.Thanks to everyone who dropped by to say hi!

Thrilled to have passed by Caversham Booksellers today in Toronto, Ontario, and to have met their wonderful team! Also honoured to have done a little intro to my book SPLIT ENDS: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as a Mirror to Wholeness - now available in-store. 😊 Song: Red Eyes - The War On Drugs #canadianauthor #cavershambooksellers #mentalhealthbooks #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocd

We were delighted to welcome Janet Morrison to the store last night to speak with Faye Mishna about Janet's new book, Relationships Matter: Building Children's Resilience within the Family, School and Community. What a wonderful turnout! This was the first time our store was filled to capacity for an event, and it was lively!

Janet and Faye touched on a lot of topics from the book, including practical and empathetic approaches to coping with problem behaviours, and the importance of apology in repairing and maintaining relationships.

You can purchase Relationships Matter in our store or on our website. For more from Janet, check out her podcast: Catch Collaborative Therapy for Children

Our events programming is taking a summer break for August, but we have a full slate of author appearances lined up for September!

On Wednesday, September 9 at 7:00 PM, we're hosting a discussion between two authors on the art of the memoir, and on how memoirs can combat stigma by breaking the silence on topics like infertility and mental health.

Stacey May Fowles' new book is The Lost Season, a memoir exploring infertility, motherhood, mental health, and the work demanded of women. She'll be joined by Miranda Newman, author of Rough Magic: Living with Borderline Personality Disorder. Their conversation will be followed by a Q&A.
