Book DescriptionThis book precisely maps a unique journey that turns the problems and conflicts that inevitably arise in relationships into opportunities for deeper connection. Illuminating case studies, guided self-inquiries, and challenging exercises help you discover how to engage your partner in a deeper dialogue and find ways of expressing the most profound and untamed aspects of your nature.
*Note from OP: I don't think the above description does the book justice. I found the book to be a profound journey into my deepest Self, while acknowledging and understanding the "self" that I embody in the world. By feeling my way through the compensatory strategies that can shut out intimacy, I found a well of compassion and love that brings me not only closer to others, but also to my deeper being. It has been a transformative book for me. And repeated readings always bring more understanding and helpful reminders.
