Growth Books

Relationships are a powerful tool for personal growth. Whether a relationship is with a loved one, a family member or a friend, the interpersonal dynamic will always mirror some deeper dynamic occurring within ourselves. In intimate relationships, we are often attracted to those who mirror back to us both the things that we love the most and the things that we find the most challenging in our own lives. In this way, if we are willing to stay and work through it, relationships can offer a powerful opportunity to learn from those challenges and to deepen in togetherness. Of course, it’s easier said than done! In relationship, the times when we most need to practice tolerance, compassion and understanding are often the very same time that it is most difficult to do so, because our own ‘stuff’ has been triggered. Here, we have chosen some resources to assist in that journey.
