Harriet Lerner on Intimacy

Perhaps nothing is more important in our lives than enhancing relationships with our friends, lovers, and family. Yet at some point, it seems that even the healthiest relationships get stuck and resist our efforts to "fix" them. In this revealing and provocative session, psychologist Harriet Lerner confronts cherished myths about women and intimacy, and breaks new ground for every listener seeking the deeper truth about intimate relationships. This heart-to-heart session takes a careful look at those relationships where intimacy is most challenged – by emotional distancing or by too much intensity – and offers practical ideas for overcoming these primary obstacles. Enriched with many real-life examples from Dr. Lerner’s work with women and their families.
