My Publications
Summary: In very simple language, this book guides couples to understand why, despite their loving bond, can feel anger and even hate towards each other when they feel unheard and misunderstood. It helps couples “decipher” their relationships, offering insight into the ways they rely on one another – and why this is not a bad thing. It also covers the science behind how attachment is formed, highlighting its vital role in cultivating healthy relationships.
