Proven Skills for Navigating the Real Challenges of Intimate Relationships

What does it take for couples to sustain love? How can you deepen your relationship even when you and your partner disagree, fight, or let each other down? “Intimacy isn’t something you have. It’s something you do”, teaches Terry Real. “It’s a minute-by-minute practice of connecting to others through empathy, vulnerability, and accountability.” With Fierce Intimacy, this renowned author offers a revolutionary way of living in connection - one that allows you to cherish your partner, yourself, and your relationship in equal measure.

How to Communicate with Love and Respect - Even When You Argue

Terry’s approach to relationship is called “full-respect living” - to skillfully and honestly assert your needs while also honoring your partner’s needs. In these six sessions, he presents invaluable training for individuals and couples on developing the skills necessary for this authentic way of connecting. You’ll begin by learning how to clear away the outdated beliefs and habits that keep you from developing healthy self-esteem. Then Terry will help you and your partner transform the Five Losing Strategies that sabotage relationships into the Five Winning Strategies that lead to clear communication, trust, and mutual support.

“When we dare to be more vulnerable and open and honest, we are forging new territory”, says Terry Real. Whether you’re still seeking a partner or want to breathe new life into your existing relationship, Fierce Intimacy brings you essential tools for connecting with true respect, uncompromising honesty, and ever-deepening love.

Highlights

  • The adaptive child - how to recognize and defuse self-sabotaging habits
  • Unhealthy self-esteem traps for men and women
  • Identifying your CNI (Core Negative Image) - a key to making arguments constructive instead of destructive
  • The Feedback Wheel - a four-step approach to revolutionize your communication
  • The Five Losing Strategies: our impulses to control, retaliate, and be right all the time

Great book, full of wisdom and knowledge.

Revolutionary, practical, and down to earth ideas. I love the fact that I was able to listen to this book because I don't have time to read books.

Real explains perfectly the beauty of togetherness


I find it refreshing that throughout this book the lessons never wander from a goal that is purely to attain healthy love. When we are elated and over the moon in love to when we are hurtful and resentful in love, the focus is always how do we do this together and how do we move forward together. And if we can’t, how do we step away. This world seems to get farther and farther away from human closeness. We want to control everything and everyone. We are forgetting how to be together, we are so concerned with our individuality and personal freedom and independence, we are losing our ability to relate. Everything he says is so spot on and incredibly practical, yet it will completely blow your mind and make you really take a look at yourself and at your partner.

I started reading this book to try and fix my relationship. I thought if I could learn how to be in a relationship then I could help him learn how to be in a relationship, and we would finally work. This is not the first book I read on the subject, but it is the first one I finished. And throughout the journey my life has changed dramatically. I left a toxic relationship no longer thinking everything that was going wrong was my fault. I am still struggling but have taken massive steps in quitting a terrible drug habit that was so instrumental in keeping me in an abusive and disempowering relationship. I feel as if my eyes are opening and Im finding peace. I feel like even though I am not in love, I understand a little better what it means and how it should feel. That’s priceless knowledge in my opinion. Thanks Doc.
