Recent relationship science research finds that intense, satisfying romantic love is a real phenomenon occurring in couples. Creating Optimal Relationships: Use of the Voltage Concept with Couples provides the field of marriage and family therapy with the first model for assisting couples to sustain bliss for a lifetime. The voltage concept, based on over forty years of clinical research, uses a skills-based approach from Anthetic Relationship Therapy. By providing psychodynamic skills for facilitating each partner’s psychological growth, the psychological infrastructure is then achieved for supporting optimal relating skills. The voltage concept presents a useful dichotomy of closeness levels to which partners aspire. Couples who want a more surface relationship fit a Low-Voltage Relationship model marked by less emotional intensity. With such couples, minimal skills can be taught to reduce any conflict that brought them to therapy. High-Voltage couples desire great emotional depth and receive skills to help them achieve it. Perhaps even more valuable, the voltage vocabulary equips clinicians and partners in understanding a common source of couple conflict; that is, the voltage mismatch. The book offers options for treatment when a voltage discrepancy exists in the couple.

A revolution is under way in how we understand the nature of relationships, how we develop in those relationships and how our brains function synergistically in connection with others. This field, known as attachment theory, has been reserved for neurologists, psychologists and others in the healing professions but here Daniel Hughes skillfully demystifies the research for lay people.
Tools for Creating a Life You Love
Human life is a gift. The human mind is a powerful tool we each have to create what we want with the gift of our human experience. What sets a master craftsman apart is their expert use of the tools of their craft. To use the tool of your mind as an expert, you need to understand how it works and practice using the tool to gain control. Through my study and practice I have put together tools and a process to help you to practice using the tool of your mind every minute to improve your mastery. Expert practical use of ideas such as mindfulness, meditation, visualization, and learning to choose with awareness and self-control will change your experience of life. Many people go through life reacting to lifes situations then wondering why they find themselves in the same painful situations over and over again. Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and angry many people feel victimized and out of control. This process helps you get control of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you are empowered to be the master craftsman of your life. The first step is getting to know yourself. You need to gain awareness of both the conscious and subconscious aspects of your mind. You need to know how your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors work together to create your experience. Once you have gained awareness, you get to choose what you want to create. Then, just as an athlete trains his body, you train your mind for control and mastery. Change may not be easy but it is possible. You are the hero of your own adventure. If you become your best self, the world will be a better place. Your life is a terrible thing to waste.
