Read an Excerpt

When couples come to me for psychotherapy, they are often at their wits’ end. It’s not unusual for them to be screaming at each other while they sit in my office. Secretly, both people in the relationship are hoping I will act as an allpowerful judge and, after listening to the “evidence” against their partner, proclaim them to be totally innocent and their partner 100 percent guilty. I disappoint them. Instead, I tell them they’re both doing things that are making intimacy impossible. I ask them if they would be willing to spend a short time trying a totally different but highly effective approach to relationship communication. I ask the same thing of you. You may not agree with everything I say in this book. That’s okay. Take what feels like it will work for you, and leave the rest. However, I encourage you to test my methods in your own life. If you do, I think you’ll see something quite amazing—these methods can create miracles in your relationship!

I have a unique job. I’m a psychotherapist who promises to help couples in three sessions or less. Therefore, I’ve focused on how to quickly turn things around for couples deeply mired in problems. Sound impossible? It isn’t. All that’s needed is the right theory about what really makes human beings tick and the right techniques to effectively bring out the best in yourself and others. I’m excited to present these ideas to you because I know they work. Unfortunately, I’ve seen that a lot of the information that exists about communication is not truly helpful. In my own life, I’ve seen that the ideas I was taught in college or read in books simply didn’t work in the real world of relationships. Yet, the information in this book has withstood the most difficult test possible: It even works with people who are deeply hurt, enraged, and ready to give up all hope. No one needs a book on how to communicate when they feel good, loving, and peaceful. What we all need is a book on how to communicate effectively when we’re fearful, frustrated, or want to punch someone in the nose! The theory and methods in this book are so simple, and yet so powerful they will even work in the most challenging reallife situations.

Of course, you need not be deeply mired in problems to find these ideas and tools of great value to you. The same methods that can make a conflicted relationship peaceful can help make a good partnership become truly fantastic. Even if you’ve been happily married for many years, I’m confident these tools will help you create more intimacy than ever before. In addition, although this book is aimed at helping couples, you’ll find these same ideas will also help you communicate more effectively with your boss, coworkers, children, family, and friends.
