All to help make sense of the difficult journey toward growth. All to help reconstruct your most important and vital relationship.1st Pillar:The Trauma Arc: Telling your story to yourselfOne of the biggest obstacles to moving through trauma (or loving someone who has been through trauma) is that we do not know how to tell our own story to ourselves, let alone someone else. The 1st Pillar helps us sketch the basic elements of a life affected by trauma, as gleaned from Trauma Psychology experts.2nd Pillar:The Pathway to Hope:Facing the truthThe 2nd Pillar illustrates that the path to what we hope for most often includes telling ourselves the difficult truths about our life. It includes having the courage to face our sadness, to grieve and mourn what we no longer have. It includes recognizing despair and cynicism when we feel them and choosing to hope instead.3rd Pillar:Toxic Patterns of Communication: Identifying habits that sabotageConflict occurs in any relationship. One factor that contributes to the outcome of conflict is how we listen. The 3rd Pillar illustrates what can happen when defensiveness hijacks listening and triggers our responses.4th Pillar: The Talking Heart Exercise in Listening: Seeking understanding before resolutionThe 4th Pillar introduces an exercise for listening in a new way. Instead of listening defensively, we begin listening empathically. Whoever has the heart is the speaker, and the listener cannot interrupt, argue, or hijack the conversation.5th Pillar:Conflict Management Styles: Noticing our style is just one style Conflict management styles are like noses—we all have one. What often interferes with seeing our own style is that it always feels like the “right” one. In the 5th Pillar, we explore our own conflict management style, consider how we experience our partner, and then share ways we can adjust. 6th Pillar:Adaptive Styles of Grieving Loss and Pain: Appreciating the differencesPop psychology tends to reinforce the notion that men grieve one way and women another—"men are rational,” and “women are emotional.” Prominent grief researchers Kenneth Doka and Terry Martin suggest that there is considerable variability in what masculine or feminine mean on an individual level, particularly in the area of grief and loss. The 6th Pillar provides updated terms that may be a bit unfamiliar, but gradually they will seem more appropriate.7th Pillar:Relational Reconstruction: Seeing forgiveness as a possible new beginningThe 7th Pillar presents something of an “industrial strength” model of relational reconstruction. Some might initially prefer the word recovery or repair, but for more difficult situations, a stronger word is necessary, for it is often essential to consider how not to repeat a relational disaster. To “recover/repair” a relational style that is flawed seems like a recipe for repetition. Reconstruction describes the necessary process of deciding what kind of relationship needs to emerge for it to survive, like building a new house versus simply adding a new bedroom.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
