“Take Out the Trash and 21 Other Things”: A Clinical Framework for Identifying the 21 Relationship Saboteurs.
Most relationships don’t fall apart because of a single blow-up. They gradually erode under the weight of 21 “micro-saboteurs” that create an atmosphere of resentment. Learn to identify them before they become fatal.

As a psychologist, I see couples every day who believe their problem is a “lack of communication.” In reality, the problem is an accumulation of behavioral residue that has blocked the attachment system.
This guide isn’t about “positive advice.” It’s a triage protocol to stop the bleeding in your relationship.
What you’ll find in the book:
- The Clinical Perspective: The psychological explanation behind every behavior (so you can stop taking things personally).
- The “Take Out the Trash” Protocol: Why small unresolved tasks are, in fact, warning signs for your partner’s nervous system.
- The 21 Points of Friction: Pinpointing exactly where the connection is breaking down.
