[.ca] Lessons in Love : The Transformation of Spirit Through ... (ISBN 0805063978)

Pushing Through the Fear of Intimacy:
I read this book over a year ago and was surprised that there were not more customer reviews. But after reflection, I understand why. It is not that customers do not have anything to say about this book. It is that the book effects people very personally. I want you to read this book and discover your own transformation! I can tell you that the greatest gift this book offers are really effective questions that allow you to uncover layers of "static" that lay behind your own interactions with others and especially with those you love most. The "static" for me was fear and anger. I will share with you my personal testimony. My husband and I had a "crisis" and were separated. While he was reading John Gray's "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" I was reading "Lessons in Love." As I was learning about my own motivations, I realized that I had some childhood wounds that had found there way into our marriage. Rather than treating my husband as my "partner" my "equal"--I was treating him as though he was responsible for some earlier "injustice." The questions and issues raised in this book allowed me to focus on "what is the real issue here" and "how can I get these needs met" in a healthy way. My awareness didn't happen overnight and I had a lot of other support. As I have been talking to more and more people about my near fatal accident (divorce) I am learning that myself and others are terrified to be happy and accept love. This book can help you get closer to that acceptance. Enjoy the journey.
