RECOMMENDED READINGS:
Terry Real’s three books:
I Don’t Want to Talk about It – main theme is about men and how their undiagnosed depression impacts their lives, particularly their relationships
How Can I Get Through to You--full accounts of how he works to help couples untangle their relational deformities
New Rules of Marriage--his most recent book; more condensed than previous books; has great tips for improving relationships
The Soul’s Code, James Hillman. A radical thinker whose theme here is that it is not so much our homes and our families of origin that shape us, but that our soul, our tinernal unfolding pattern, is much more powerful than our circumstances.
