Friendship Interrupted: Challenges and Practical Solutions — What You Can Do by Debra Whiting Alexander, Ph.D., and Judy Dippel

Friendship Interrupted: Challenges and Practical Solutions — What You Can Do by Debra Whiting Alexander, Ph.D., and Judy Dippel is a thoughtful and practical guide for women navigating the difficult, confusing, and sometimes painful changes that can happen in close friendships.

Rather than focusing only on what makes a perfect friend, the book explores the moments when friendships become strained, disappointing, complicated, or even toxic. Through real-life experiences, professional insight, and practical strategies, the authors help readers better understand what may have gone wrong and what they can do next.

Each chapter includes candid stories, solution-focused guidance, practical action steps, warning signs for when additional help may be needed, faith-based reflections, and ideas for strengthening meaningful friendships.

Perfect for readers interested in women’s friendships, relationship challenges, boundaries, emotional wellness, faith, reconciliation, and knowing when to let go, Friendship Interrupted offers encouragement and practical tools for responding to friendship struggles in healthier and more intentional ways.
