“love is not the icing on the cake of life. It is a basic primary need, like oxygen or water.” -Dr. Sue Johnson
One of the six spokes of life that we need to develop to create a healthy life is our relationships.
I wanted to take a moment and share about two people that I have found some great resources that have helped me.
The first is Dr. Sue Johnson.
I first came across her as I was preparing for a teaching series on marriage. I ended up reading her book, “Hold me tight: Seven conversations for a lifetime of love.”
A great place to start to be introduced to her work would be the videos she has on her site – https://drsuejohnson.com/videos/
Dr. Johnson has developed some great work around love and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT).
The second person is Dr. Henry cloud.
He is a leadership expert and clinical psychologist. This past summer, I read one of his books on boundaries for parents. He has a whole series on this topic, and I highly recommend his work.
He has a podcast you can check out here – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-boundaries-me-podcast/id1488880049
As well on youtube and Facebook (May 2020), he has a live video with a call in. You can check it out – https://www.youtube.com/user/DrHenryCloud
He has some great articles on setting boundaries in our relationships.
Both of these have been two resources that have been helpful in my life.
What about you? What resources have helped your relationships?
