For readers of Irving Yalom, Esther Perel, and Oliver Sacks, a profound and deeply affecting new book by psychoanalyst and internationally bestselling author Dr. Galit Atlas that reveals how our childhood wounds hold the key to understanding our adult relationships.

What is the secret of emotional intimacy? How can understanding our childhood experiences give us the insights we need to be close to others in a truly satisfying, longer-lasting, and more meaningful way?

In Come Closer, Galit Atlas invites us inside the private lives of her patientsand into her ownto offer new, life-changing answers to these important questions. Atlas has identified six child archetypesthe frightened child, the melancholic child, the ashamed child, the invisible child, the guilty child, and the chosen childand in these pages, she shows how each childhood wound plays out in our adult relationships.

In remarkably compelling and dramatic stories of both therapist and patient, Atlas illustrates how the child within us drives our love lives, forming patterns we repeat without awareness. Each narrative will have you on the edge of your seat, living the mystery alongside Atlas and her patients, uncovering roots, drawing parallels, and reaching insights and revelations, just as they do.

No one who reads this eye-opening book will ever see their relationshipsor themselvesthe same way again.
