Making Relationships Work
by Alison Waines
A new easy to read, practical guide to creating loving relationships that last.- Why do I always fall for the wrong person?
- How come my relationships never last?
Searching for that ‘special’ relationship seems to be an on-going quest for many of us. Alison Waines, a qualified counsellor, explains why people keep getting it wrong when it comes to building a loving, lasting relationship - and what they can do to put it right.
Making Relationships Work helps you to discover the patterns and behaviours that hold you back in relationships. It also shows you what you can do about it! In this practical workbook, over 30 exercises will help you to explore your relationships from different angles and reflect on the changes you can make in either current or future partnerships. The exercises are also designed to increase your awareness and self-esteem. Genuine case-studies illustrate how others have been able to break through old behaviours and move forward towards relationships that really work. If you’re looking for the genuine ingredients to make love last - then this is the book for you!
‘…a compact little book, written in a compassionate way, which makes the techniques more easily accessible…The strength of this book is that it does what it sets out to do…it is difficult to identify any limitations.’
Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal
‘Alison Waines’ voice … conveys warmth, acceptance and acknowledgement of pain…rather than offering the upbeat, quick-fix, no-pain pitch of many self-help books… [It] has rejuvenated my interest in writing exercises… a useful resource for counsellors, psychotherapists and clients alike.’
