by Kathryn Ford (Author)
Couples often ask, "Can people really change?" A better question is, "How do people change?" In The Aperture Effect, psychiatrist and couples therapist Dr. Kathryn Ford doesn't just tell you how-she gives you simple tools that will immediately begin to transform your conversations and your relationship. With the radically simple approach of Aperture Awareness, Dr. Ford integrates mindfulness, psychology, and neuroscience to help couples shift their dynamics when in distress, turning their difficulties into lasting connection.
Filled with on-the-ground examples and effective exercises to nurture relationship growth, The Aperture Effect will show you how to:
- use small moments to make the changes you want now,
- reframe frustrating debates as open dialogues that create connection,
- bring out the best in your partner and yourself,
- and turn problems into opportunities to learn and love more fully.
Developed over more than two decades, Dr. Ford's Aperture Awareness approach has helped hundreds of couples reverse the downward spiral of relationship crisis-and prepare for a lifetime of learning and loving together.
