The Third Circle Protocol: How to relate to yourself and others in a healthy, vibrant, evolving way, Always and All-ways

by Georgina Cannon

Overview

Using, as a basis, the tool developed for clients for over 20 years in the author’s clinic, The Third Circle Protocol gives the understanding and offers the process to live a life of satisfying, loving and effective relationships without guilt or angst. It shows how to feel comfortable and flourish in the relationship with self and others.

The Third Circle Protocol teaches the reader how to understand the often unspoken or unrecognized contracts we have with each other. And how to write new ones--when the current one isn't working. These contracts start with the relationship with yourself, your lover, your kids, your sister, or your parents. The centre core of your life is affirming interactive relationships, in your private life as well as at work. The exercises are simple, pragmatic and profound.

Editorial Reviews

"Anyone who’s in a couple, has parent-child tensions, an over-critical friend or a difficult boss, can benefit from reading The Third Circle Protocol. Its basic principles — have a healthy understanding of your own values and priorities, then consider the relationship with another as a separate entity — are now made understandable and practical to apply, through this book. All relationships are complex, and most people give lip service to 'working on it,' but get lost in their own separateness. Georgina Cannon provides a map and exercises to get you and your relationships to a better place. She posits the relationship as a contract to be 'nourished, nurtured, respected and heard'...it’s not always easy but, with practice, becomes a more promising route to relationship satisfaction and success. I’d advise my readers to give it a try."
