It seems self-evident that we want our romantic relationships to work, and that love and long-term commitment are our ultimate goals. But what if our desire for love is actually not as straightforward as our emotions make us believe? What if, instead of pursuing love, we are unconsciously pushing it away?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDaring to Love\u003c\/i\u003e, Tamsen and Robert W. Firestone offer techniques based in Robert Firestone's groundbreaking voice therapy--the process of giving spoken word to unhealthy patterns--to help you understand how \u003ci\u003eyou\u003c\/i\u003e are getting in your own way on the quest for true love. Love, the Firestones argue, makes us vulnerable and triggers old defenses we formed in childhood, causing us to sabotage our relationships in myriad subtle--and not-so-subtle--ways. Using the voice therapy strategies in this book, you will be able to identify your own defensive patterns and uncover the destructive messages your critical inner voice is telling you about yourself, your partners, and your relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're struggling to cultivate lasting relationships, this book can help you embark on your next romantic journey with more openness and self-knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTamsen Firestone\u003c\/b\u003e is founder and editor-in-chief of www.psychalive.org, an online mental health resource visited by millions of people each year.
