The Health Specialists' Series: Happy, Healthy Intimacy (ePub)

We are constantly told that the most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves. While I believe this and advocate dating yourself before dating anyone else, I offer it with a caveat.As a psychologist and dating coach, I believe the sacred relationship we have with our self is the sum total of 1) the relationships we have with others (past and present), 2) our emotional resilience and mindset and 3) our genetic history. It's impossible to separate our individual experience from our shared experience in our relationships. So, the way we play with, fight with, flirt with and lay with others, has a huge impact on how we see ourselves. An intimate relationship is the best personal development course you can sign up for."Happy, Healthy Intimacy" is a smart collection of relationship insights that will help you to become acutely aware of the impact of your relationships on your own self-concept. It provides you with invaluable tips to navigate the messy, exciting, awkward, sometimes painful patchwork of emotions that we call relationships. In addition to the great advice from a range of relationship experts, this book will remind you that whatever you are going through in your relationships, you're not alone.Melanie SchillingPsychologist Dating Coach
