Description
In this hour Juliet talks about her book “Landscapes of the Heart: The working world of a sex and relationship therapist“. In the book Juliet gives us privileged access her unique client sessions and work. Following several couples’ journeys, through sex and relationship therapy, to better, more loving marriages and partnerships, we witness her rich blend of life-changing approaches, including Neuro-Linguistic Programming, emotional fusion, anger work, and Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP)– the extraordinarily potent new methodology she has helped to pioneer in the UK. This book is designed for the lay reader, and will be of interest to both one to one and couple therapists, who want to learn different techniques.
