Transformational

I came to this book upset and out of ideas. Me and my boyfriend love each other very much but can’t stop arguing over seemingly small things. I could feel affection wilting because our relationship isn’t a safe place anymore and I didn’t know what to do to fix it. Having listened to this book I now feel so full of hope and energy. Harville identified so many things that I have been doing wrong and can easily change. I never realized before that me and my boyfriend have difficulty asking for what we want so unmet needs and frustrations were mounting. Now I have a practical and safe way to communicate my needs to him. I feel like we can turn things around. A must have for a serious relationship.

Conscious relating in action

Love this audio with Harville Hendrix.
If you are interested in being in a conscious relationship this audio has a lot to offer.
It explains the underlying dynamics, why, what is happening - is happening... and how to break the spell of the power struggle that seems to be very common in relationships.
It addresses couples and singles alike.
How to bring change to a relationship and how to prepare for a new one.

Great ideas lovingly put

My favourite part was the example dialogues, you can hear real love in their voices! I can't wait to start putting these techniques into practice in a new relationship, I think it could help build a strong foundation.

I believe this is what I needed to do to heal

It was pleasant listening to his voice, clear and at the right speed for this kind of information. I could do the meditations. although single at the moment, I believe my next relationship experience would be different, would still do the practices in the meantime.

This is the Bible of happy couple relationships

I listened to it in two days, after I hurt the woman of my dreams and she left me. I know how to make it work now. I hope I will get the chance.

important knowledge and exercises to help understand and grow the relationship, Harville speaks well, bless him

Easy to listen along and makes so much sense

The chapters on childhood development were fascinating to me. It’s a beautiful thing to realise that we can heal our childhood wounds in conscious partnership.

Disappointing

I was quite hopeful to get a lot from this book only to find it focused on a single streak in such a complex multilayered dynamic in life
There was a lot or repitieron of simplistic theories and slogans
Kinda of wasted my time

Pleasure to listen

The voiceover is very calming and gently invites you to join this sessions. The book consists of several sessions that you better do together with your partner. I think it is more suitable for couples who were together for many years or for those who who went through the romantic stage of their relationship and started the routine, kinda boring life together and would like to restore the passion they used to have. Nice book. Sometimes author goes too much into talking about quantum physics or cleverness of nature and as a mostly rational person I was a bit bothered by that. But the author always says that it is his thoughts, the way he likes to see things and it doesn't have to be true and you don't have to believe the same. I think it was important to say.

Practical and enlightening

This book has taught me
1. The PHASES of relationship behavior from the romantic phase to the power struggle phase to the break through or break up phase
2. The phycology of WHY we are attracted to our specific partners
3. The WHY we go through the 3 phases of relationships
4. HOW to become a conscious couple in simple practical terms including communication, fun and intimacy
Thank you
