“In Simplifying Relationships, Jody Andrews translates over 30 years of clinical experience into bite-sized reflections and guidelines on how to sustain healthy relationships with intimate partners, family members, co-workers, and others. I invite you to grab this practical book and get to work on important relationships in your life.” —Dr. John J. Murphy, author of Solution-Focused Therapy (2024, American Psychological Association)
The trouble with relationships is other people. We have friends and neighbors, partners and lovers. We live in communities. We come from families, and we earn our living working with or for other people. This book utilizes tools to help you determine if the relationship is healthy and offer solutions for change if necessary. This book will also help you understand what might be keeping you stuck in a difficult situation and learn what to expect when dealing with transitions and loss. And it will also help you learn to live your best life and to connect more fully with others. Each chapter incorporates quotes and graphics to make you think, feel and even smile. Terms or concepts to explore outside of the scope of this book are expressed in italics. It is a book to come back to again and again to help you make informed decisions about life and relationships. My hope is you share this book and your own stories with others to create a sense of genuine community and connection.
