Tell Me No Lies: Truth Telling in Intimate Partnerships
Truth Telling in intimate partnerships today is rarely about morality. It is about differentiation or the avoidance of differentiation. Too often intimate partners avoid the difficult work of differentiation and instead they lie to themselves and they lie to each other an dnever build the emotional muscle necessary for a strong, intimate connection.
