Fierce Intimacy: Standing Up to One Another with Love
Categories: Parenting & Relationships
Family therapist Terrence Real, founder of Relational Life Therapy, teaches partners to stand up to each other with love in this 2018 audio program from Sounds True. Across six sessions he names five losing strategies that damage relationships: being right, controlling, unbridled self-expression, retaliation and withdrawal. He shows how couples can replace them with honest requests, empathy, accountability and repair, so that conflict leads to closeness rather than resentment.
