  1. 1. Fierce Intimacy

    A compassionate, direct guide to repairing and deepening adult relationships by naming and changing the shame, reactivity, withdrawal, and control patterns that undermine intimacy. Drawing on clinical experience, it outlines a practical framework for courageous connection—cultivating honest self-awareness, firm boundaries, clear expression of needs, and skillful repair after ruptures—so partners can move from blame and avoidance to mutuality and authentic closeness.
