McGraw, Ph.D., moves from aiding the aimless individual to coaching the disconnected couple. McGraw has distilled his more than two decades of counseling experience into a seven-step strategy he calls "Relationship Rescue."<p> "I'm prepared to kick a hole in the wall of the pain-ridden, unhappy maze you've gotten yourself into, and provide you clear access to action-oriented answers and instructions on what you must do to have what you want," says Dr. Phil. His aim is to expose and eliminate the saboteurs that cause senseless damage to already-fragile marriages, and, like an emotional root canal, to replace them with values he says provide positive results. If you follow Dr. Phil's strategy, he will lead you on a precise journey to uncover your heart and then share it with your partner as part of taking the "risk of intimacy." <p> Dr. Phil leads you to "reconnect with your core" in the first five steps of his seven-step strategy. By no means a quick fix, there are in-depth and rigorous questionnaires, surveys, tests, and profiles that require a "brutally candid" mindset, with such fill-in-the-blanks as "List five things that today would make you fall out of love with your partner." With this internal work accomplished, you'll then move on to reconnecting with your partner during a two-week, half-hour-a-day short course. As a "dyad," you and your loved one take turns giving monologues on topics such as "The most positive thing I took away from my mother and father's relationship was..."<p> Once the "reconnection" has been established, Dr. Phil says the work shifts to a management role, as relationships are always a work in progress. Dr. Phil humorously refers to his own marriage throughout the book, sharing his mishaps and victories in learning to accept and enjoy what he sees as fundamental but complementary differences between men and women. <I>--John Youngs</I> 360044 8 2 2000 Relationship Rescue: A Seven Step Strategy for Reconnecting with Your Partner total:119|5:24|4:33|3:40|2:14|1:8| 119 408 192 29 5 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 04 04:44:32 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 04:44:32 -0700 2009 الكتاب جداا مفيد لدرجة أني اشتريت النسخة الانجليزية منه عن طريق امازون وأنهيت ق�...more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Nov 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 11:05:42 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 11:21:07 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 03 09:30:04 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 09:30:27 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jan 14 21:02:49 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 21:03:37 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Thu May 28 07:56:29 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 07:57:04 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Thu Apr 09 16:15:07 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 16:15:47 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 21 20:40:36 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 20:41:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Jun 07 12:42:15 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 12:43:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Sat Jul 25 21:24:19 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 21:24:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Apr 07 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Sun Mar 22 19:08:04 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 03:21:17 -0700 2009
