If you feel like you have the same arguments with your partner over and over again . . . you may be right. And you' re not alone: Joanna Harrison believes there are five distinct issues that all couples have to work through if they are going to have a healthy, functioning relationship. Grounded in her experience as a couple therapist, she asks us to think about the difficulties we all have in our relationships - from how we communicate to what roles we take on and much more. Using sound advice and relatable case studies, she offers practical ideas and imaginative ways to think about ourselves and our partners. Kind, funny and rooted in real life, this is expert advice that anyone can use - and that everyone in a relationship needs.
This is a helpful book that gives a fascinating insight into the couple relationship and how we fall down familiar, predictable holes, with equally fascinating and helpful ways we can learn to look at them with new eyes and thereby find new and improved outcomes -- Julia Samuel, bestselling author of Every Family Has a Story * Julia Samuel * Joanna Harrison' s marvellous First Aid for couples shows how conflicts can become unstuck enough to be understood, accepted and even laughed about, so that each person can continue to develop and grow within their relationship. -- Susie Orbach * Susie Orbach * Joanna Harrison leverages her expertise as a relationship therapist and former divorce lawyer to outline the five biggest problem areas in romantic couples' lives, and like a steady, reliable friend, guides us through each of them. Effective conversations about how we communicate, our families of origin, sharing domestic responsibilities including parenting, as well as sex and intimacy are all critical to making love last. As many know, I' m divorced. Painfully. But if I' d read and heeded Harrison' s sage advice about how to discuss what actually matters in marriage and relationships? I don' t think I would be. -- Matthew Fray, author of "This is How Your Marriage Ends" ' Harrison presents her insights with gentleness, wisdom and plenty of examples from real life - as well as delicious flashes of humour. There' s no better way to be supported than to read this life-changing book' -- Rachel Kelly, author of Sunday Times bestseller Black Rainbow This book is jam packed with insight and wisdom. Joanna Harrison encourages the most important thing for better relationships -reflection and curiosity. Easy to navigate and divided into key themes such as Sex, Parenting and Communication, I found this book a hugely rich and engaging read. -- Susanna Abse, Senior Fellow of The Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology and author of ' Tell Me the Truth about Love'
