Yet most couples either avoid it or try to smooth over their differences. This often results in at least one partner compromising their integrity--and stunting their own growth.\u003ci\u003eMonsters in Love\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the idea that conflict between partners is unhealthy or something to avoid. Instead, it encourages both people to stand by what they need and who they are--but to do so with compassion rather than competitiveness or vengefulness. This book is about the reality of committed, intimate relationships, which are designed to inspire both people to grow up. It challenges some common misperceptions about what makes for a successful partnership. It also rocks the boat of psychotherapy, calling out therapists who don't bring their best to their clients. Instead of comforting fantasies or false promises, \u003ci\u003eMonsters in Love\u003c\/i\u003e offers you and your partner a chance to make your relationship--and your lives--much bigger and more emergent. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eResmaa Menakem\u003c\/b\u003e, MSW, LICSW, SEP, is a healer, a longtime therapist, and a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in couples, conflict in relationships, the healing of trauma, and domestic violence prevention.
