Empowered Love

 

Empowered Love 1
When dealing with your spouse, does it seem as if rationality and compassion go out the window?

Couples therapist Steven Stosny explains it all in this revelatory book about the divide between our adult and our toddler brains.

Too often, conflict in intimate relationships reactivates our least-regulated “toddler” side, bringing out an instinctive desire to assert our own way and make everything a zero-sum game.

Dr. Stosny shows the way toward overcoming these destructive impulses and nurturing our more loving and clear-eyed inclinations.

Drawing upon his decades of experience in working with troubled marriages, he distills his insights into an actionable guide for embracing our best impulses in our relationships.

Empowered Love is a valuable guide for married and live-in couples who struggle with an unhealthy dynamic.
