Customer Reviews

One of the most helpful books I've read

I've read a TON of relationship/self-awareness books and this one has proved to be the most fun and transformational to date. The book is fun and appeals to many different learning styles through information and different types of exploratory exercises. It takes you through a journey of self discovery that is compassionate towards yourself and aimed at self-awareness of common patterns of distancing, how they were formed, and how you can change them, and yourself. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who might think that they have distanced themselves within their relationships, or to anyone who has been in a relationship with a partner who distances.

I see the light...

I am engaged and finding myself acting a little irrationally in a way that is pushing away my fiance...the LAST thing in the world that I want to do. We've been talking and doing what we can to work through 'issues' but still...I couldn't understand my own behavior. This book clearly shows that I have quite a bit of the 'symptoms' for the defended & distracted models and I'm so relieved that I have a way to acknowledge and work on this. Awesome and I'll definitely recommend it to others.
