HOW TO LOVE AND BE LOVED

"A practical, reader-friendly, and inspiring primer on how to extend true connection and love to others."

Relationships have always been essential to human survival. Our bodies and brains are programmed to seek out connection, whether familial, romantic, or platonic. And yet, these vital bonds are often at the root of our deepest suffering. While our hearts are primed for compassionate connection, our nervous systemswhich store all our past hurts and disappointmentsare wired for threat and negativity.

For decades, leading relationship advice has maintained that successful relationships require a specific compromisethat we must change our authentic expression to better meet the needs of others, and vice versa. It may sound reasonable in theory, but as Dr. Kainali Thaddeus explains, this approach is nothing less than a recipe for a lifetime of resentment.

This book, the last in her "How To" trilogy, illuminates the way out of trauma bonds and into relationships rooted in mutual respect and compassion. In it, you will learn how to create safety in your own body and mind; identify your unmet needs; develop emotional resilience; cultivate heart coherence to build deep emotional connections with others; and maintain healthy interdependence in our communities.

Whether you struggle to maintain the kinds of relationships you want or are facing a specific challenge with a spouse, partner, parent, sibling, child, friend, or colleagueDr. Kainali Thaddeus teaches us how to break painful cycles and reconnect with the wisdom, appreciation, and compassion that live in each of our hearts. It is our heart's innate capacity to love that is the true source of all healing. When we tap into that power, we can become the love we seek.

Complete with stories, exercises, journal prompts, and other practical tools, How to Be the Love You Seek offers a healing roadmap for all generations of cycle-breakers.
