I'm a psychotherapist with a practice in Folsom California. This is my first book and my publisher has very few resources for marketing. I have several signings and interviews scheduled. Also Turn Here is making me a FREE book trailer to market their service. I had the video shoot last Wednesday but haven't seen the 60 second video yet. I still haven't found my niche on Goodreads but am enjoying all the posts. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/218203-book-award-contest-and-reviews http://photo.goodreads.com/groups/1221035269p2/8322.jpg 2731783 Sally Watkins http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1252948409p2/2731783.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2731783-sally-watkins Sat, 03 Oct 2009 08:35:16 -0700 Change Your Mindset, Not Your Man: Learn to Love What's Right Instead of Trying to Fix What's Wrong (Paperback) by Sally B.

I't hard on guys when we women want what they have not been socialized to provide. They're prepared to do the heavy lifting and make money but when we ask them to meet our emotional needs and even "daddy" us like our father never did, it naturally makes them defensive and angry. They sometimes conclude that they aren't able to please us and stop trying. The conflict comes from trying to get happiness, validation, and love from another when the only one you can change is yourself!

What we do to get more connection with a man often backfires, even couples counseling when the goal is to fix him. I spell it out exactly what to do instead. This has taken me a lifetime to understand and I wrote this book to save others from the dead ends and wrong turns I made. ]]>
