And yet giving voice to this self is at the center of having both a relationship and a self.
Although an intimate, long-term relationship offers the greatest possibilities for knowing the other person and being known, these relationships are also fertile ground for silence and frustration When it comes to articulating a true self.
Despite decades of assertiveness training and lots of good advice about communicating with clarity, timing, and tact, women and men find that their greatest complaints in marriage and other intimate relationships are that they are not being heard, that they cannot affect the other person, that fights go nowhere, that conflict brings only pain.
The key problem in relationships, particularly over time, is that people begin to lose their voice.
Bestselling author Harriet Lerner focuses on the challenge and the importance of being able to express one\'s authentic voice in intimate relationships.
Guiding readers to take specific steps to heal broken relationship connections, Lerner shows how to navigate relationships with integrity, courage, and conviction.
