Unabridged Audiobook
I loved this couples workbook. My husband and i went through some rough times and with me owning 2 businesses and him working a lot and we have 2 kids trying to find time to go to therapy was very tough. So we decided to try this first and guess what. We are still together going stronger then ever!!
I have done many couples activity books, and this one is by far one of my favorites. The questions are organized by topic and are better than the average “getting to know you” questions you find in these types of books. It is set up to be used by either professional therapists, or as a couple. Each session is explained before the questions and then there are ten questions per session. I highly recommend this for couples looking to connect on a deeper level.
This book has given us great talking points and helped us figure out what we need to work on. Just talking has brought us so much closer and given us a better understanding of each other. I think this is one of the best investments I've made in our marriage. There are some pages we will definitely bring to therapy with us and do again and again. We've been more in sync since starting the book.
Unfortunately or fortunately, it actually helped me realize that our relationship had problems that were bigger than I knew and helped it end in a good way. Still good friends. Like formal couples counseling often , it can lead to insights that then lead to divorce or break up. Highly recommend.
This book is designed for either a clinical setting or a self home study setting. I bought as a self home study for my partner and me. I believe the book is more suited for long time married couples with kids, but it worked well for us.
I really like the format of this book. It's a little on the cheesy side in the set-up, but the questions and intro info to each conversation has proven helpful for my clients (I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist)
I recommend perhaps slowing down the pace and giving yourself time to answer them - the pace recommended in the book is a bit rushed.
I like the idea of starting conversations but make sure you are both in a good place before beginning that days conversation. Initial questions went well by my wife was resistant and it just was too much and led to more arguments about process. It was an eye opener and I think we will venture back to select conversations.
This book does the thinking for you. Keep it on hand and whether its values, sex, conflict or other challenging issues, you'll have a ready-made way to help your clients make immediate progres
