Harriet Lerner

“Getting clear about what really matters is almost impossible when one’s energy is dissipated in reacting to one’s partner. It wasn’t that Harry and Augusta weren’t creative or smart enough to think through these questions. But they were both so locked into unproductive patterns that they didn’t give themselves a chance to even ask these questions, let alone answer them.”
