When it comes to finding love, are you the obstacle? Daring to Love will help you identify the internal barriers that cause you to sabotage your love life, open yourself up to vulnerability, and build the close, lasting relationship you truly desire.

After a breakup, most of us spend a lot of time thinking about what the other person did to lead to it, instead of reflecting on ourselves. It seems obvious that we want our romantic relationships to work and that love and long-term commitment are our ultimate goals. But what if our desire for love is not as simple as our emotions make us believe? What if, instead of pursuing love, we unknowingly push it away?

In Daring to Love, Tamsen and Robert W. Firestone offer techniques based on Robert Firestone's groundbreaking voice therapy—the process of vocalizing the sick patterns—to help you understand how you stand in the way of seeking true love. Love, the Firestones argue, makes us vulnerable and triggers old defense strategies we developed in childhood, causing us to sabotage our relationships in various subtle—but also not so subtle—ways. By using the voice therapy strategies in this book, you will be able to recognize your own defensive patterns and uncover the destructive messages your critical inner voice tells you about yourself, your partners, and your relationships.

If you struggle to cultivate lasting relationships, this book can help you embark on your next romantic journey with more openness and self-awareness.
