Publisher's Synopsis
The world is filled with lonely people. Lonely alone, or lonely within their romantic relationships. Are you one of them? People typically seek contentment from outside themselves. They either bounce from one unsatisfying relationship to another, or they are so terrified of getting hurt that they avoid the dating scene altogether. However, instinctually, we are not meant to be alone. The desire to share our lives with a significant other grows strong in all of us. Psychotherapist Tamara Kiekhaefer has worked in the field of mental health for over twenty years, and now, has developed Preparing for the Jungle to teach what she knows is required to achieve a healthy, romantic relationship. After working with thousands of clients from different backgrounds, cultures, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic structures, Tamara has found one truth that remains the same: How we communicate and resolve conflict is directly correlated with the success and fulfillment of our personal relationships. This book will provide tools and techniques for you to understand who you are so that you can develop a strong idea of what you want in a healthy, loving relationship. Tamara will guide you through this process by helping you dissect every aspect of your life, helping you gain a solid sense of control over who you are and what you want in life.
