Riassunto

IT'S EASY TO GIVE LOVE, BUT HOW DO WE RECEIVE LOVE, ABSORB IT AND LET IT CHANGE US? Rather than learning HOW to love, perhaps the greatest test of an intimate relationship is learning to receive love. Such is the teaching of the bestselling author/relationship therapist team, Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt. In their newest book, they argue that many of us have trouble accepting and integrating the affection and appreciation we so deeply desire. We tell ourselves that we're not getting what we want and need because other people are either not loving us enough or not loving us in the right way. But the truth is that we are loved, we just don't see it. Instead we brush away the compliments and praise, and we don't even know we are doing it. In RECEIVING LOVE, the focus is on how this phenomenon operates in intimate relationships, shaping conflicts and disappointments, and on the steps needed to dissolve the barriers to enable us to open our hearts to love.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Do you feel unloved? Do you tell yourself that your partner is either not loving you enough or not loving you in the right way?
In this illuminating book, bestselling author/relationship therapist team, Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt, find that where giving love may be easy, embracing it and letting it change you is another matter. Many of us have trouble accepting the affection we so deeply desire, when the truth is that we are loved, we just don't see it. Instead we brush away compliments and create obstacles to true intimacy.
The authors come to this book from their own experience. After successfully working with thousands of couples, their own relationship began to unravel. Simultaneously, their organization's therapists started to report to them of couples who just couldn't be helped, who were blocked. What Harville and Helen and the therapists discovered was that when partners were finally getting the love they wanted, they were rejecting it.
Receiving Love comes of this personal odyssey: 'There is always hope for turning a relationship between two, isolated individuals into a true partnership,' say the authors. In addressing the biggest issue facing couples today, Receiving Love shows us how to dissolve the barriers, enabling us to open our hearts to love.
