I have heard from many “critical” partners who are wondering if my book can help them. The answer is…YES! First, I want to say congratulations for recognizing that you are in the role of the “critical” partner is your relationship. The “vulnerable” partner is not the only person who is suffering with the relationship dynamic that I address in my book. Identifying your schema is an essential part of understanding what is driving your critical behavior toward someone who you love. Gaining a different and better understanding of yourself and your partner is powerful. The chapters containing alternative coping strategies will provide you with healthy ways to communicate with your partner. Change is difficult, but I feel very strongly that the rewards are worth the challenges that you will face. I encourage you to sign up for the journal so that you can keep a log with your thoughts and feelings. It will help you track your progress. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
