When trying to share your feelings, does it end up in a fight more times than not? Do you want constructive discussions with your partner that lead to deeper connection and a healthier relationship?Most of us never learned how to effectively share our own feelings or receive our partners feelings. The good news is that its a skill you can learn.Being in a relationship without knowing how to share your feelings and receive your partners feelings is like jumping into a pool without knowing how to swimyou can flail around all you want, but its not going to keep you afloat for very long. You need to be able to move in any direction at will.Like swimming, knowing how to share your feelings and respond to your partners feelings will move your relationship in the direction you want: towards more intimacy, closeness, connection, and trust.As a mental health therapist who specializes in working with couples and communication, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. These are the skills we were never taught in school, and desperately need as adults in relationship. Easy to read, accessible and personable, and immediately applicable. -Anna M., M.A.
