If I Love You Why Is It So Hard to Live With You?

EMPATHY IS THE KEY : NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE IN THE LIFE OF AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP, EMPATHY IS THE QUALITY WE NEED.

After all is said and done, to thrive in an intimate relationship, the quality most required is that of empathy extended from each partner to the other. We can attain this state after both partners have learned to know and accept themselves, and after they know and fully accept the other. In addition to empathy, we need to become curious and diligent students of our relationship, the We that we create, which is an entity unto itself and is as real as each of us as individuals.

In If I Love You, Why Is It So Hard to Live With You?, Dr. Gleeson discusses how we can tackle the process of learning how to know and accept ourselves, how we can make a healthy choice of intimate partner, and how we can come to understand our relationship.

Reviews:

Another highly readable and insightful book from Sue Gleeson. Written clearly and logically, anyone aiming for successful relationships should read this. I wish I'd had it forty years ago! The toolkit framework whets appetite for further personal research to help answer this universal question. Beautifully presented by someone with vast experience and tremendous empathy, who loves what she does and lives to share the benefits of her learning. Thank you Sue Gleeson! In eager anticipation of your next book! - Christine Cuzick

This book was such an enlightening and compelling read. It made me think about things that I had never thought about, and in ways that I had never thought about them. I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in puzzling out how relationships work and why. - Hilary Cameron

I thought I was a good partner and had a reasonable understanding of Myers Briggs personality typing... in relationships. I sort of got the personality / marriage linkage ... what made me read Dr. Gleeson's book 3 times and purchase a copy for my former wife was how the dynamics of an intimate relationships were presented with spectacular clarity. Now I really get it. Dr Gleesons work will not change my past relationships but it surely has impacted my future. I am now much more comfortable and confident that I will be able to sustain an intimate relationship. This body of work is important and having stumbled my way through a failed marriage I can assure you answers are out there, have a read. - James Towse

Healing Soul Misery: Finding the Pathway Home

My specialty is coaching people with soul misery. Soul misery is a situation where the person does not know who they are or what their life purpose is, and no-one else sees it either. I recently completed a book called Healing Soul Misery: Finding the Pathway Home, which describes the reasons for the development of Soul Misery and explains the four stages of healing it.  The book is available for purchase at the following locations:
