5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading to engage the real work of relationship, 18 Feb 1999
By A Customer
"The fairy tale version of romantic love teaches that once one finds the right mate, there is a marriage and then the two live happily ever after. Somehow the relationship magically brings out the King or Queen in each of us; therefore, our task in life is to find the correct mate so that we can be truly ourselves. In contrast to this, many of us now have a real fear that we will lose ourselves if we "give in" to a relationship and make the adjustments that are necessary in order for it to work, that the changes demanded of us by relationship are a weakening or a lessening of who we are." --Embracing Each Other, pp. 227-8

This is a book that came for me at the right time: and in (or out of) relationship, any time is the right time. Especially helpful is the advice on taking care of one's [inner] "vulnerable child": 1. Recognize its presence 2. Develop an awareness of its personality, needs and reactions 3. Separate far enough in trigger situations to evaluate 4. Speak up for it in an objective, relaxed fashion

Here are some key do's and don'ts: --Don't put it in position of taking care of itself --Don't give in to all its needs ("indulging in all its feelings") --Don't let it lock into victim mode through over-identification --Do provide its own space, aesthetic and safe --Do use impersonal self to set limits and boundaries, speaking for its needs --Do use one's network of safe friends for support and listening

The vulnerable child is often disowned by the dominant constellation of one's "primary selves." Left to their own devices these often give rise to a variety of shadow selves...with both primary selves and shadows indulging in excess.

"Negative bonding patterns" occur in relationship when the disowned child in each person has to find support externally, and bonds unconsciously with the parent-figure in the other person.

Problems and conflicts inevitably occur. How to deal with them constructively? Awareness is crucial. So while expression of feelings may occur, it's important that it's done consciously rather than hurtfully; using discernment, not judgment. In this dance one must learn to embrace all of one's disowned selves. Also, to understand the dynamic connections between each other's vulnerable selves and the corresponding partner-parent roles. We can come to realize and embrace in ourselves the opposite qualities embodied in our relationships--but in less extreme forms. For such understanding this book is invaluable.

They will keep happening, battles and make-ups, but the aware ego will begin entering earlier to balance the power selves and vulnerable selves, with more choices; so that we relate out of em-power-ment rather than a drive for power; without dominating/controlling or playing victim. The content of conflict becomes neutral, without the usual hidden agenda.

Sound like too much work? It's all a choice. If relationship is the path we take (and how can anyone ignore it forever?), we may avoid much unnecessary pain (for ourselves and others) and discover the greatest growth through maximum discovery and awareness. For such a living journey, Embracing Each Other is the essential guidebook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Embracing our selves, 15 Oct 2003
This review is from: Embracing Our Selves (Paperback)
This book is real head work !!
I am a counsellor and it was recomended to me by my supervisor.
It does exactly as the title says, embraces all parts of your 'self' and not just the parts which we like ! Highly recomendable.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great model for understanding yourself and others, 10 Sep 2009
By Sir Miles (England) - See all my reviews
Having done some workshops inspired by this paradigm, it was a bit overdue me getting this book. I think its a really interesting and useful way of breaking down the often confusing world of the pysche and other related matters. Its down to earth and refuses to fall into "New Age" waffle. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and for an individual the process of voice dialogue can be put to good use quite quickly and has made a real difference in my life. However, its real power lies in finding someone else to do it with. Herein lies a slight snag. They advise that in order to facilitate a "voice" you need to have accessed that voice yourself already. I reckon in a lot of cases this means paying a professional (expensive process). Up till now this seems like the most practical and useful tool I have found for knowing yourself and being able to make concious choices about how to be in the world. Plus it sits well alongside spiritual practices, in my case Zen.
