Why have I been successful? First, my practice is based on the act of choosing to love. Most people cannot define love, it's a choice, not a feeling. Second, all relationships have the same components: choosing love (or not), emotional expression (healthy or unhealthy), preferences and boundaries, and conflicts/issues. It's the relating skills two bring which makes or breaks the love they share. The most important of all skills is conflict resolution. Most people don't know how. These form the core of my practice.
My book titled "Love Your Self, No More Selling Out" focuses on both the choice to love (or not) and relating skills. These are the key ingredients to becoming authentic and vulnerable then experiencing joy-filled relationships.
