How to Be Your Own Lover

"A useful, approachable, and inspirational guide on showing genuine affection and connection to others."

Human survival has always depended on relationships. Our brains and bodies are wired to seek relationships, whether they be platonic, romantic, or familial. Despite this, our greatest suffering is frequently caused by these essential connections. Our neurological systems, which hold all of our prior traumas and disappointments, are wired for threat and negativity, even while our hearts are poised for loving connection.

Leading relationship counsel has insisted for decades that effective partnerships necessitate a particular compromise-that is, we must alter our true selves to better serve the interests of others, and vice versa. Though theoretically, it makes sense, this strategy is nothing less than a certain way to fuel animosity for the rest of your life.

This book provides a fresh approach to mending our interactions with one another and shows us how to go past trauma-based bonds and establish connections based on compassion and respect.

You will discover how to establish safety in your own body and mind, recognize your unfulfilled needs, grow emotionally resilient, develop heart coherence to form meaningful emotional connections with people and uphold positive interdependence in our communities.
