Relationships are meant to be nourishing-but what happens when they cause harm instead?

Mend or Move On is a therapeutic guide to recognizing, releasing, and recovering from relationships that harm your mental and emotional health.

Kate King is a credible relationship expert you can trust. As a licensed psychotherapist and art therapist, King offers a bold, compassionate guide to breaking free from toxic dynamics and reclaiming a life rooted in self-respect and happiness.

In her new book “Mend or Move On”, King challenges the long-held belief that family loyalty and social harmony should come at the expense of personal well-being. This book is not about saving every connection-it's about knowing which relationships are worth healing, and which demand an honest goodbye. With insight, clarity, and empathy, King will guide you through the difficult process of deciding whether to stay or walk away with her practical, psychology-informed approach that supports both paths.

Through cutting-edge research and powerful stories from her clients and her own life, King offers a safe space to explore questions of belonging, betrayal, boundaries, and healing.

Her unique approach provides a holistic path forward that emphasizes creative expression, evidence-based concepts, and nervous system regulation. This guide invites readers to build relationships that are honest, kind, and respectful-and to walk away from those that are dysfunctional, abusive, and beyond recovery.

Whether you are repairing a struggling bond or finding the strength to sever it, "Mend or Move On" will help you navigate this complex emotional territory with integrity.
