Beyond Fairy Tales

Discover the transformative path to lasting love with compassionate insights from a couples expert that go beyond the surface-where authentic relationships are forged, and fairy tales are left behind.

Let's be real-love isn't all roses, margaritas, and sunsets; it's messy, complicated, and sometimes really hard. It's not about chasing some perfect ending, but about ditching the fantasies, learning to love each other as you are, and doing the gritty, beautiful work of thriving together. Beyond Fairy Tales will show you how to make that journey a reality.

Dr. Karris masterfully blends attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and other cutting-edge therapeutic approaches with real-world strategies to empower couples to navigate the beautiful, messy complexities of partnership with courage and grace.

"Karris offers an engaging, resource-rich book to bring life to stale or shaky relationships.

You are certain to enrich yourself as a person and as a partner by reading this book!" 

"Beyond Fairy Tales is a playful and invigorating exploration for couples, offering a powerful resource to strengthen relationships. Karris provides fresh insights, empathetic compassion for the challenges couples face, and practical strategies for growing stronger together."
