Strength & guidance for building the relationships I dream/vision myself in

I have related to each story I heard. I’vestarted the couples therapy 2 month ago. So fare I’ve got more from this audio book (it feels I got all I needed actually!). I got the clarity in my situations with my partner how I want to be, where to focus, how communicate what’s important to me & how to listen/hear out my partners needs. It was very much freeing for me to hear the first’s & the last’s couple’s situations. I’ll listen the book again & again. It gives me the sense of the grounded, the empowered me when I can find the way to create in my relationship with my partner the trust, vulnerabilities openings, the understanding & compassion to move forward as long as we both choose to. Thanks so much 😊

Captivating

It has been such a privilege to get to hear these intimate experiences of various people handled with such nuance, compassion and reason. Although I am only 20 and not in any form of a romantic relationship, listening to this has enlightened me more about the intricate nature of human relationships.

Thank you Esther and all the people involved.
