IT'S EASY TO GIVE LOVE, BUT HOW DO WE RECEIVE LOVE, ABSORB IT AND LET IT CHANGE US? Rather than learning HOW to love, perhaps the greatest test of an intimate relationship is learning to receive love. Such is the teaching of the bestselling author/relationship therapist team, Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt. In their newest book, they argue that many of us have trouble accepting and integrating the affection and appreciation we so deeply desire. We tell ourselves that we're not getting what we want and need because other people are either not loving us enough or not loving us in the right way. But the truth is that we are loved, we just don't see it. Instead we brush away the compliments and praise, and we don't even know we are doing it. In RECEIVING LOVE, the focus is on how this phenomenon operates in intimate relationships, shaping conflicts and disappointments, and on the steps needed to dissolve the barriers to enable us to open our hearts to love.

Format:Paperback
I found this book to be very useful in describing the problems that arise in relationships and how they are rooted in childhood experiences. It gives many examples of couples in therapy and their issues. The book is very precise and comprehensive on the topic. The exercises are very useful and can be given to clients. Its great manual for understanding relationship dynamics in general and can be used with couples or individuals in therapy.

The above statement, "connection is defenseless relating" is a statement on p.124 and summarizes the whole essence of the book. Very informative as the authors give case studies that are thorough examples of the point they want to make. They describe how each partner, although they crave for love, when they are given it, they do not see it or they reject it. It is what I would call "experiential" book: They reveal their own vulnerable side as a couple and they give exercises of working on ourselves. These exercises as well as all the book are of tremendous assistance in locating the barriers we put on ourselves to receive love and affection.
Since I 've read the book I am much more able to "locate" my own self-rejection patterns and those of my clients. As a family and couple therapist myself I feel grateful to H. Hendrix and H.Hunt for their contribution.

Bought this book on recommendation from someone else. It is not as good as I expected it to be. I found the content rather irritating, and self indulgent. I couldnt read it from cover to cover, but could read chapters and found there were some good points made
