How the hidden drives and motivations of the Trimotive Brain keep us 'in
threat, ' cast a spell on our lives, and shape the patterns of our
relationships--and 4 Perception Practices we can use to change those
patterns. Many of our significant relationships are based not on trust
and respect but on an unconscious compulsion to deny our problems,
flaws, and fears. We see the consequences at home and at work, where we
repeat the same mistakes and act out familiar patterns of behaviour with
our partners, friends, and colleagues in ways that leave us stressed and
unhappy. In Being with Others, psychotherapist and business
psychologist Nelisha Wickremasinghe explores how it is impossible to
build healthy relationships when our brains and bodies are in threat.
Following on from her acclaimed book Beyond Threat, she unravels why
so many of us are often in threat, and how we can overcome these
feelings to find freedom, authenticity, and forgiveness in our
relationships. In Being with Others we learn how to recognise our
curses, cast off the spells, and wake up to the scintillations of
insight that can deepen our relationships.
