Let's face it, relationships are hard. If you're like many people, your relationship résumé reads something like a spatter pattern. Confusing experiences lie in your wake, and you can't decipher the learning. Maybe your relationship is littered with messy conflicts or scorched by the ills of the world. Maybe you are lonely--and looking for a partner, or you feel you just aren't any good at relationships--and you want to get better. Using stories from her own colorful relationship life and from her work with clients from diverse backgrounds around the world, Jan Dworkin, PhD, lays bare her missteps and triumphs both in and out of the bedroom with honesty, humor, and depth. She offers concrete tools to help couples navigate power dynamics and conflicts that arise from differences in gender, class, race, sexual desire, communication styles, dreams and opposing points of view. Through sassy stories, step-by-step exercises, and hard-earned wisdom, Dworkin guides readers to build their very own "relationship practice." Whether you are embarking on a new relationship, striving to improve an existing one, or recouping after a breakup, prepare yourself to laugh, cry, and gain the education of a lifetime. This is the real world of relationships with no holds barred.

In A Path Made by Walking, the authors bring to life the basics of Process-oriented Psychology (now called Process Work), including a step-by-step introduction of terms and techniques. Their extensive worldwide learning and teaching has enabled them to present the information in a refreshingly clear and engaging way. Describing the origins, background concepts, and essential tools of Process Work, the book is filled with client-facilitator examples, stories, tips, and exercises, making skill-building accessible and enjoyable. The case studies and exercises provide practical ideas for therapists who wish to expand their practice in new directions. With uncomplicated language, the book holds the reader's attention throughout and demystifies many of the subtle interactions that happen within a psychotherapy session. It offers concrete ways of working with human experience, with a strong emphasis on signal-based and clearly observable phenomena.

"Why is today's diet industry pulling in 70 billion dollars every year, while when people go on a diet, only five percent of them succeed and the rest gain weight or stay the same? Here's why: A heavy, shamed body is a body with an unheard message and a thwarted quest, and until the secrets are unlocked and the wisdom is harvested, that impasse will be unbreachable. In these pages, Bedrick offers seventeen stories of individual women who open the door to their souls: stories of shame and self-love, victimization and empowerment, being small and being big, fear and hope. Stories that are both powerful and intimate. These are the stories from bodies impacted by sexism and racism, rape and harsh parental criticism, and by the deepest hungers for an authentic life. The women in this book were not successful or unsuccessful. They began a process of self-understanding, of dropping the shame that bound them to a self-abusing lens about their bodies. They began a process of learning to express their power, creativity, beauty, and intelligence with themselves, in relationships, and in the world. They became more empowered leaders and social agents. They began embracing their sovereignty, defining themselves as an authority, and living a more authentic path as they unfold their life project in a bolder and more self-loving manner. This book is the culmination of years of study, research, and practice. Since 2001, I've been helping women who seek me out because they're unhappy and they want to change their bodies. In the book, I've gathered the most compelling stories and share them as case studies. These case study chapters are bookended by a richly contextualizing introduction and a conclusion."--Provided by publisher.
