A proposito di questo titolo

An empowering, healing guide that reveals the true cost of avoidant behaviour in a relationship - disconnection, disengagement, and divorce - and shows how we can instead learn to speak up and start connecting with the ones we love most.

'I wish I had spoken up sooner.'

People think relationships fail because of deal breakers like infidelity, finances, or parenting problems. But the real culprit is often much less dramatic: emotional disconnection after years of staying silent and avoiding conflict. We're afraid to say what we need because we worry about what will come next.

Avoidant behaviour - the need to 'keep the peace' rather than dealing with conflict head on - isn't our fault. Our ingrained attachment wiring urges us to sidestep day-to-day disputes and brush lingering problems under the rug. But silence is a losing proposition in the long term, leading us to self-abandon and essentially 'quiet quit' our relationships.

We can make another choice. In The Cost of Quiet, licensed marriage and family therapist Colette Jane Fehr shines a light on the epidemic of avoidant behaviour and how to overcome it. Drawing from the latest attachment science and evidence-based therapies she's used to repair the bond between hundreds of couples, Fehr gives us the tools to approach those we love with openness, honesty and vulnerability. The ultimate goal: a securely attached relationship that engages with conflict productively, and the confidence that comes from speaking up and being heard - because a good relationship is worth fighting for.©2026 Colette Jane Fehr

Recensioni della critica

'Fehr has written The Cost of Quiet to help others in her position to be more assertive about tensions in their relationship from the outset, rather than burying their heads in the sand for a quiet life.... [she] talks readers through how to express their frustrations with their partner kindly and clearly.' Julia Llewellyn Smith, The Times
'This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever silenced themselves to keep the peace.

Marci Shimoff, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason and Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul

'The book's central insight is revolutionary yet simple: staying quiet to 'keep the peace' actually creates the very disconnection we're trying to prevent.
