Love is Not For Cowards

When two people in a relationship are overwhelmed by conflicts that seem unsolvable they often believe that it is due to a lack of love. But this is the moment when we should stop blaming our partner and take a look at ourselves! Love is Not For Cowards is a book about daring to love. About daring to share our inner feelings and thoughts with our partner without worrying about their reactions. Unfortunately, many people believe that conflicts should be avoided at all costs, as they are the sign of an unhealthy relationship. Paradoxically this often leads to a breakdown instead of the development of a deeper relationship. Leading Danish psychotherapist Birgit Weber believes the fear of revealing our true selves stems from our childhood. It is these fears that lie behind all the misunderstandings we may experience with our partner. In this highly accessible book, Birgit Weber shows how we can refine our reactions and feelings without expecting that our partner should accept these. It is only when we accept ourselves that we can become a whole person and thereby be a better partner.  This book is at once confronting, insightful, reassuring and exhilarating. On the challenging journey of love and self-exploration, Love Is Not For Cowards is a valuable companion.  

‘Love isn’t for cowards and neither is this book ... be prepared to face some "inner" stuff that could just help you have an amazing relationship and live happy ever after – after all!’ Bianca Dye, author, broadcaster and TV presenter. 

‘… Birgit Weber dispels the commonly held belief that loving someone should be easy if you are with the right person … Weber takes us on an enlightening path along which we can learn to address our past in order to enjoy true intimacy with another.’ Jo Lamble, clinical psychologist and author of The Partner Test. 

‘Love is Not For Cowards is a soul-searching book asking the questions you need to ask yourself to better understand why you react the way you do with your partner ….’ Simone Trimble www.shesaid.com.au
