About I Didn't Sign Up for This

What happens when your relationship no longer feels like the one you said “yes” to?

Couples therapist Dr. Tracy Dalgleish has spent the last 17 years dedicated to helping hundreds of couples find hope and healing, but shortly after the birth of her first child, Dr. Tracy began to see herself in her clients’ narratives. Despite the overwhelming joy she felt as a new mom, she found herself resenting her partner as she shouldered the domestic load. In time, she began to utter the very words she’d heard from her clients: I didn’t sign up for this.

Part memoir, part self-help, Dr. Tracy Dalgleish’s debut book provides a rare look inside real therapy sessions with four couples―and into her own marriage. With candor and empathy, she digs to the root of the issues that fuel our conflicts and how we can start showing up wholly and authentically in our most intimate relationships with others and with ourselves.
