Audio Series: The Prerequisites for
Relationship Success
Disc 1
Dr. Atkinson begins by introducing listeners to
the groundbreaking discoveries that researchers have made about the
emotional habits that are necessary for relationship success.
Step-by-step, Dr. Atkinson
describes how people who are good at getting their partners to treat
them well go about doing it. The
listener is guided
through a 12-step sequence of highly
effective things
that these people do when they feel
misunderstood, offended, taken for granted or mistreated. You'll
learn that people who get treated well by their partners combine two
things: 1) a generous attitude toward their partners, and 2) an
absolute requirement that their feelings count as much as their
partners’. People who are good at getting their partners to treat them
well tend to see the best in their partners, but they’re also willing to
put their partners in their place when they need to. In this CD,
you'll learn the secrets of how people combine a generous attitude with
the ability to stand up for themselves without putting their partners
down.
