Riding the passionate edge

In an intimate relationship, it's a common error to believe that emotional closeness and tension can't co-exist — that love and anger can't sit at the same end of the couch. "Riding the Passionate Edge: Converting Tension into Emotional Intimacy" turns this mistaken idea upside down. Believing that unresolved tension creates estrangement and loneliness, these authors provide concrete skills for transforming relationships — even those that feel beyond repair. In "Riding the Passionate Edge," readers will learn how to change corrosive conflict into pathways to deep emotional intimacy.
