Book Description
This 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.

About the Authors
Jett Psaris, PhD., is an author and teacher who guides others to embrace the full spectrum of their humanity through her writings, workshops, and private practice. Undefended Love is a Nautilus AwardNominee for its "distinguished contribution to conscious living;" her online course, Taking the Midlife Leap, One Step at a Time, is a seriesof 14 eBooks that guide readers across the progressive developmentalthresholds that will lead them to a meaningful, authentic, andenergizing second half of their adult life. And, her newest book Hidden Blessings: Midlife Crisis as a Spiritual Awakening is arguably her mostimportant contribution yet to the path of expression of our mostvulnerable human selves as well as the realization of our more eternal,divine natures. Hidden Blessings is the WINNER of the 2017 IndependentPress Award in the category of Spiritual Self Help. Psaris's writings have been referred to as "sacred texts for modern times."

Marlena S. Lyons, Ph.D. is an author, therapist and workshop leader who guides you to use the challenges you face to reclaim your personal authority so you can live your life from a place of clarity, confidence and compassion. It is a risk to love and live from a place that is "undefended". When you are undefended you can at last experience the kind of intimacy and connection you long for in relationships.
