Becoming Relationship Ready

Many of us approach dating or a new relationship with what we believe is a fresh and hopeful spirit, not recognizing that we’re also carrying with us the invisible baggage of hidden expectations and ingrained patterns. To truly start anew, we need to first get in touch with the relationship we have with ourselves. Rather than “working” on the relationship, it’s the work we do to understand what’s going on inside us – independent of other people – that can unlock the door to true connection. The heart of this book is a guide to identifying and breaking old patterns. With this fresh approach to dating and even to existing relationships, we can finally see the lighter side of love and find joy in connection. “I have been a marriage and family therapist for almost 50 years and I love this book.

Whether you’re still looking for the perfect partner or if you’re in a relationship that has lost its spark this book will touch your heart and leave you hopeful, happy, and on your way to the relationship of your dreams!” - Christine Heath MS, LMFT, MAC,CSAC Published author “Becoming Relationship Ready is an engaging, wise and inspiring story of getting over ourselves to find ourselves. It reflects the struggles of so many clients I have seen over the years. I wished I had this book to share with them.
