Publisher's Synopsis
How often have you become frustrated about a relationship that you are having where the other person keeps doing something that annoys you? Why does the same annoyance keep happening over and over again? How is it that it seems that you cannot do anything to change the other person? Should you just give up on the relationship? Or accept that there will always be this type of problem between the two of you? Or perhaps you realize that you keep behaving in ways that are not helping the relationship. How do you change?It's Not You It's Them...And You is a book about changing relationship patterns that we have with colleagues, friends, family, and loved ones. I have my Ph.D. in Family Therapy and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I will bring the reader into my therapy room and provide them with my 30 years of professional experience. As a relational therapist, I have worked with countless people on how they can take personal agency in their lives and relationships to learn how to change long-standing problematic patterns.I have designed It's Not You It's Them...And You as a step-wise exploration of how people's relationships have remained stuck and provide a clear and concise exploration of how they can attempt to change their negative relationship patterns in order to develop more positive patterns. Each chapter presents the reader with an understanding about a certain aspect of what maintains relationship patterns as well as various exercises that the reader can use to assess the current aspects of their relationships as well as the impact of their change attempts.
