Publisher's Synopsis
For healthy, safe & growth promoting relationships, both partners need to be well developed. Relationships are often difficult not because we're stupid or bad, but because we're not developed enough psychologically and emotionally. The good news is: there is a great deal we can do about it! Growth and maturity emerge when we integrate our prefrontal and limbic brain regions. The more integrated we are, the more consciously we contribute to our relationships with others, resulting in more fulfilling and satisfying interactions. Improvement in integration leads to maturity, enabling relationships based on compassion, empathy, unconditional love and true intimacy. This short book is direct and to the point, covering topics that are not often found in other relationship books. It addresses all relationships, not just intimate ones, because many problems appear across all our interactions, and because we are the common factor in every relationship we have.
Avigail's style remains accessible without oversimplifying. The material draws from many years of clinical practice, neuroscience research, and her lived experience. This is the fourth book in the 'Fully Human Psychotherapy Tools for Life Series'.
