Something is gnawing at you. An inner wisdom that knows things don't have to be this way.

And you're right. The anxiety about our children's future, the grief for our dying planet, the exhausting isolation despite being more "connected" than ever—these aren't inevitable. They're symptoms of living under the patriarchy, a worldview that has alienated us from our own wisdom and each other for the last 10,000 years.

In Breaking Up with the Patriarchy, therapist Susan L. Herrmann reveals that the systems causing our collective suffering aren't just political or economic—they live within us, shaping what we believe is possible.

We can return to the Kinship Worldview that sustained humanity for 99% of our existence.

Through unflinching personal stories and practical wisdom drawn from three decades of clinical practice and indigenous teachings, you'll discover:

Why your "mental health issues" are actually natural responses to an unnatural system

How to identify and uproot the patriarchal patterns you've internalized

How to build authentic community when isolation feels safer

Ways to reconnect with Earth as a living consciousness, not a resource

The freedom that comes from radical surrender when you let go of the need for control

This book is an invitation to remember who you were before you learned to see yourself as separate from others and from nature. It's a guide to reclaiming your birthright—the ability to collaborate rather than compete, to dance with life rather than try to dominate it, to trust your inner wisdom rather than doubt it.

You will learn how to think in a completely different language, one based on connection and kinship rather than isolation and control.

Susan L. Herrmann has spent over three decades dismantling systems that fragment relationships and limit human potential as a therapist, educator, and global service-learning director.

Susan’s holistic approach, which examines whose knowledge systems are privileged and whose voices are missing from traditional healing and educational models, is informed by her cross-cultural work in Vietnam, where she directs service-learning programs supporting Agent Orange-affected communities.

Known as a "Licensed Clinical Miracle Worker," Herrmann specializes in helping professionals and couples navigate trauma, grief, and the challenges of living authentically within oppressive systems through guiding people to reconnect with their intuitive wisdom and reclaim their sovereignty.
