That Which Doesn’t Kill Us is the story of a couple’s ten-year journey that took them through a series of ordeals that crippled their family and nearly destroyed their marriage. Trained as psychotherapists and practicing relationship counselors, both Charlie and Linda found that their professional training wasn’t enough to liberate them from the challenges they encountered.

Alternating chapters, the authors illuminate the experiences they endured as well as the process that allowed them to finally heal from the damage caused by their prolonged period of stress and conflict. In the end, they were able to not only salvage their marriage; they also managed to establish a connection that brought their relationship a depth of intimacy, trust, and integrity far beyond what they had ever experienced before.

The process of their miraculous recovery is presented in vivid detail and reads like a riveting novel. The Blooms’ unfolding story provides the essential steps necessary to breathe life back into a failing marriage and move into a deep, loving connection that surpasses even the dreams that each partner had dared to hope to fulfill.

  • Grady

    ‘Grace: The state of being sanctified through freely bestowed divine love and protection.’

    California authors Linda Bloom, LCSW, and Charlie Bloom, MSW have been assisting their clients – individuals and couples as well as organizations – who are discontent with their relationships, guiding them how to repair and grow stronger. They are regular presenters at the Esalen Institute, the Kripal Center for Yoga & Health, 1440 Multiversity, and Rancho La Puerta as well as lecturing in colleges and publishing in the major media.

    The beauty of this book is learning how experts in the field of relationship repair found their own relationship in shatters and from that point how they discovered how to repair from the broken pieces of a long successful marriage and family a unit that is more meaningful and complete than they ever knew possible. It is that sort of relating to ‘guides’ that is a forceful synergy to read carefully and regain the energy to work on our own relationships. They have written an accessible and very sensitive and valuable book

  • Marcia Naomi

    Linda and Charlie Bloom show us what a real marriage looks like, not the fairytale effortless, happily-after-version. This book is a raw, courageous story of how the authors overcame huge relationship challenges that nearly caused them to end their marriage. They show us what commitment looks like and inspire us to invest fully in our partnerships not just during the good times but during those that test us and our relationship as well. The book is an inspiring page-turner that reads like a well-written novel.
