You Make Me Brave: Empowering the Shared Experience of Your Closest Relationships

by Darryl Arrington

Overview

There is so much more to being a couple than living together.

There is so much more to spending time together than breathing the same air.

There is so much more to effective sharing than speaking and being heard.

You Make Me Brave takes a couple's pursuit of knowing one another beyond the surface concepts into the full range of the couple's experience of being. We know that we are more than what we feel, but we've not had the language and techniques to express more than emotions, likes, and dislike. You Make Me Brave provides the language and foundation principles to carry a couple's pursuit of knowing and being known even further.
It also places two powerful practices into every couple's arsenal. Targeted Dyadic Induction is a penetrating process that couples use to bring greater strength and purpose to their relationship. Dyadic Experiential Sharing is an approach to sharing that empowers the couple to realize the experiences that so many couples miss.

Informed with extensive references, containing over 100 footnotes, You Make Me Brave: Empowering the Shared Experience of Your Closest Relationships provides an exciting new approach to what it means to share life as a couple.

About the Author

For decades, in private practice and community health settings, Dr. Darryl Arrington has provided supportive services in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia. Darryl has supplied executive-level oversight of clinical care at large residential treatment facilities. Professionally, Dr. Arrington has been a director, a researcher, a clinical practitioner and supervisor, a professor, and a board chair. By qualification, he is a licensed professional counselor as well as a doctorate-holder in marriage and family therapy.

Yet, at heart, Darryl is an encourager, caregiver, advocate, and guide. He remains active in efforts to assist a wide range of too often underserved persons, including the homeless and other vulnerable populations. In these efforts, Darryl has found that he is uniquely-shaped, with a rarely-heard voice, to be moved by and pursue the wellbeing of hurting people. Narrative techniques, phenomenology, and an existential focus drive so many of his interactions, all empowered by a spiritual foundation that all of us are more than what is perceived by the 5 basic senses.

In his private life, Darryl focuses on his “college sweetheart” wife and their 3 emerging adult children.
