Statistics show that 50 percent of what determines divorce is genetic temperament. And, if you are one of the 20 percent of people who are born highly sensitive, the risk of an unhappy relationship is especially high. Your finely tuned nervous system, which picks up on subtleties and reflects deeply, would be a romantic asset if both you and your partner understood you better. But without that understanding, your sensitivity is likely to be making your close relationships painful and complicated.

Publisher's Summary
Proven Skills for Navigating the Real Challenges of Intimate Relationships
What does it take for couples to sustain love? How can you deepen your relationship even when you and your partner disagree, fight, or let each other down? “Intimacy isn’t something you have. It’s something you do”, teaches Terry Real. “It’s a minute-by-minute practice of connecting to others through empathy, vulnerability, and accountability.” With Fierce Intimacy, this renowned author offers a revolutionary way of living in connection - one that allows you to cherish your partner, yourself, and your relationship in equal measure.
How to Communicate with Love and Respect - Even When You Argue
Terry’s approach to relationship is called “full-respect living” - to skillfully and honestly assert your needs while also honoring your partner’s needs. In these six sessions, he presents invaluable training for individuals and couples on developing the skills necessary for this authentic way of connecting. You’ll begin by learning how to clear away the outdated beliefs and habits that keep you from developing healthy self-esteem. Then Terry will help you and your partner transform the Five Losing Strategies that sabotage relationships into the Five Winning Strategies that lead to clear communication, trust, and mutual support.
“When we dare to be more vulnerable and open and honest, we are forging new territory”, says Terry Real. Whether you’re still seeking a partner or want to breathe new life into your existing relationship, Fierce Intimacy brings you essential tools for connecting with true respect, uncompromising honesty, and ever-deepening love.
Highlights
- The adaptive child - how to recognize and defuse self-sabotaging habits
- Unhealthy self-esteem traps for men and women
- Identifying your CNI (Core Negative Image) - a key to making arguments constructive instead of destructive
- The Feedback Wheel - a four-step approach to revolutionize your communication
- The Five Losing Strategies: our impulses to control, retaliate, and be right all the time

Best relationship book I've read in a long time!
Wow! Straight advice that's easy to follow. Glad I overlooked the negative reviews. I'm not really sure about the one saying he's got a problem with fat people. I didn't hear that at all except for a rant about him talking about someone's "fat little head" for about 5 minutes.
I heard his podcast on Goop and immediately looked up his books. Turns out I had looked at this book weeks before and avoided it because of some of the reviews.
Practical and self deprecating advice.

I loved everything about this audio book. I like Terry is the narrator himself. In Fierce Intimacy he gives the listener basically the content of a workshop. So you get a lot of value for the price of an audio book. The exercises and insights he shares are very valuable.
