You and your partner talk... but do you feel heard? This short book helps you gain a new perspective on what happens between the two of you. It outlines profound concepts in a direct and powerful way. It also provides specific, step-by-step advice on how you and your partner can practice together to improve your communication skills. It is the opposite of a traditional, exhaustive "how-to" manual: With only 36 pages, and many illustrations, it is very simple without being simplistic, and you'll "get it" at gut level. --- "Feel Heard -- Not Hurt offers a lighthearted, readable, and lucid account of how we keep hitting our heads against the wall in our intimate relationships, thereby ensuring our continued frustration and isolation. The author offers a practical, helpful structure through which couples can feel heard and understood, which can lead to the connection they seek."
