How about trying: Getting the Love You Want Giving the Love that Heals --both by Harville Hendrix
Uhhhhh... isn't he the "sit down with your spouse and let your inner children converse" guy? I think I listened to part of one of his books and finally had to stop because it seemed so... (i'm sorry all you Harville fans)... so hokey. I get that as a little person I wasn't treated very well. I just don't get how pretending that I can still talk with the 'little me' will help. It's just a little loosey-goosey for my taste. Sorry. I much prefer the more concrete approach of MWD, Harriet Lerner, Matthew McKay, Mark Goulston etc. And sorry Coach, but I remember now how depressed I got after reading Learned Optimism. I felt like SUCH a loser for getting the 'pessimist' label stamped on my forehead, and even worse because I couldn't switch my thinking around like that. I do admire his work though.

Now I've never read any of her work. I'll check into this.

Thanks for this also; I'll take some time to read through it this weekend.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
