Understanding why we are intensely attracted to certain people can lead us to the Inner Lover, a creative aspect of our own nature. Valerie Harms observes that the images, feelings, and fantasies that are aroused when we fall in love in brief encounters and lasting bonds, in unrequited and impossible relationships--are the key to hidden potentials within ourselves. In this book, she presents techniques of journaling, dreamwork, and imaginal dialogues to guide the reader on an adventure of self-discovery in which the powerful energies of love may be transformed into creativity and fulfillment. This book is part memoir, categorized in the genres of personal growth, psychology, relationships.
