Author Bio
Dump
That Chump: A Ten-Step Plan for Ending Bad Relationships and Attracting the Fabulous Partner You Deserve, is a work that
required many years of personal anguish, lots of psychotherapy, and
hard work on the author’s part. Esther Kane, MSW, RCC,
truly believes that as a psychotherapist, she cannot guide clients
successfully into and through places she hasn’t personally
examined and worked through in her own life.
Through witnessing multiple break-ups, abuse, infidelity, and various addictions in her own family growing up, Esther had few role models of healthy relationships to emulate when she grew up. As a result of her upbringing, she emulated what she had learned in her family-of-origin and was subsequently involved in one miserable unhealthy relationship after the next until she reached a breaking point. At the age of 21, she narrowly escaped a very abusive relationship that left her feeling that something inside of her had to change if she were to ever have a good relationship in the future.
There and then she decided that she would rather be single and a bit lonely than to be in one more toxic relationship. She spent the next five years working really hard on herself in both individual and group therapy, to create a space for a supportive, loving, and satisfying relationship someday with someone who was perfect for her. The result? At the age of 27, she found the man of her dreams and almost eight years later, is enjoying a blissful and rewarding marriage as a result.

Dump That Chump: Hope for Women In Bad Relationships
(Courtenay, BC, August 31, 2006) - Esther Kane, MSW, offers hope to women who are sick and tired of bad relationships and believes that healthy and fulfilling relationships are both achievable and worth pursuing. She should know: she’s been there. Her new book, “Dump That Chump: A Ten-Step Plan for Ending Bad Relationships and Attracting the Fabulous Partner You Deserve”, helps women to end their suffering once and for all and shows them how to create satisfying, healthy long-term relationships.
Esther says, “There’s nothing worse than being in a relationship with someone who doesn’t give you what you need and deserve. You know that you aren’t getting what you want in the relationship and that you’re not with the right person, but you don’t know how to do it differently. I wrote this book to help women change all of that. As a woman and psychotherapist, I have the personal and professional experience and tools to offer women who want the very best in relationships.”
Esther Kane, MSW, has helped countless women to radically shift their thinking about relationships, ditch the bad ones, and find their ideal mate. Not only that, but she followed these exact same ten steps herself and found and married her dream husband over eight years ago and is enjoying the best relationship she’s ever experienced!
Here are a just a few of the many things that readers will be able to accomplish by following Esther’s Ten Steps:
- identify false beliefs about what one expects and deserves in relationships and replace them with positive and affirming ones
- get in touch with who they really are and what they are looking for in a mate
- learn how to ‘retrain’ the mind through specific, easy-to-use techniques to create the relationship they want
