by Dr Sue Johnson therapist suggested I read it. based on emotionally focused therapy. when we get into damaging or hopeless communication cycles with a loved one, a lot of times it’s a mirror of the lack of emotional love / attachment that was received during our formative years. thus we build defense mechanisms and habits that prevent us from fully being able to be and communicate our honest selves - and be in trusting and loving relationships. this book helps teaches how to constructively navigate exploring this process with a loved one and build more positive communication and listening habits. lotsa work! but worth it
