Sharyn Wolf -Love Shrinks, Memoirs of a Marriage Counselor’

WHO: Sharyn Wolf, psychotherapist, frequent media commentator on celebrity marriage and divorce and author of five self-help books as well as Love Shrinks, Memoirs of a Marriage Counselor’s Divorce (Soho Press).WHAT: For 20 years, psychotherapist and bestselling relationship author Sharyn Wolf helped revitalize countless marriages. With eight appearances on “Oprah” under her belt, Wolf was a trusted source on finding your soul mate and staying lovers for life (afterall, if Oprah is one of your followers, you must be saying something right).But no one knew she was going home every night to a dark secret: a failed marriage of her own to a good man she just couldn't leave.“I spent a lot of time in the spotlight talking about love and romance on TV, and promoting my five books on the subject. I told the world that marriage can work if the two people want it to work. I was quoted in every magazine you can name and made the front page of The Wall Street Journal. I appeared on ‘Oprah’ eight times," she says. "What Oprah, the audience, or anyone in my life didn't know then was that I had a secret.”

 In Love Shrinks, Wolf confesses the startling truth of her own failed marriage, and the turmoil she endured while writing bestselling advice books, and yet failing to heed her own. At times painfully funny and sad, Wolf’s honest appraisal of a surprisingly typical marriage in distress may do more to save someone’s relationship than any of her advice books.
