    About this ebook

    Relationships aren't easy. Relationships are often confused and messy with partners trying to find happiness in all the wrong ways.

    Real relationships get messy because even though you think your life partner is just like you, he or she isn't. You are two different people trying to meet the challenge of creating and maintaining a happy and loving relationship without much useful information.

    To make matters worse, you're in the midst of the outmoded role expectations of a culture that values drama and competition and extreme busyness. Most media doesn't help. It focuses on difficult relationships, not successful ones.

    Ordinary relationships have their ups and downs and almost nobody writes about those cycles. It's no wonder there are so many misunderstandings. Creating a lasting, loving, growing relationship is an incredible challenge. It's completely natural to have questions about your relationship.

    I've been answering questions about relationships. Since 1973 when I was in newly minted TA (Transactional Analysis) therapist and was sure I had the answers to all the problems of the world. I had been married for 13 years and we had survived some major challenges. I was happily learning and using our new tools. We are still married and in the 40+ years of marriage and practice since 1973 I've learned a lot.

    It's been my pleasure and privilege to help people sort out the misconceptions, misunderstandings and challenges of creating happy, loving relationships. Being happy together is a gift my husband Jonathan and I have given each other through the work of addressing issues as they arise. It's a gift you can have also; by giving it to each other.

    This material is a lightly edited transcription of the Quick Read Audio Book that was originally titled "The Top 10 Hidden Beliefs About Relationships And How To Stop Them From Poisoning Your Marriage." It's focused on showing you how to recognize the 10 myths that kill marriages and replace them with tested relationship-building strategies so that you can use your power to create a fabulous relationship -- starting now!
    I decided to release the material in this form only after enthusiastic clients urged me to make it more widely available.

    It is the first book in the "Secrets of Happy Relationships Series."

    Laurie Weiss

    After more than 40 years practicing psychotherapy and coaching, Dr. Laurie Weiss had no intention of starting a new phase of her career. Then a colleague helped her resolve her persistent, hypersensitivity to noisy places, using an amazing new technique. She was astounded that he did it in just a few minutes, while standing on the sidewalk outside a restaurant, using only words.Dr. Weiss was so intrigued with this recently discovered tool that she and her husband, Dr. Jonathan B Weiss, went to Nova Scotia, Canada, to learn to help their clients make important life changes in a fraction of the time, and with a fraction of the pain ordinarily associated with psychotherapy.Four years and considerable studying later, they became the only Certified Master Logosynthesis® Practitioners and Basic Trainers in the United States.Being innovative was nothing new to Laurie Weiss. Encouraged by her parents to be independent, at age 14, in 1954, she talked the local druggist into hiring her as his first delivery girl! As a teenager, Dr. Weiss read science fiction stories about how ordinary people could do extraordinary things and was determined to find the right teachers to help her learn to do those things too.Living in Chicago, she traveled the United States and Canada as a Senior Girl Scout and decided she wanted to live in Colorado. She became fascinated by science, won awards, was invited to work in a medical laboratory and apprenticed as a medical technician.She met her husband-to-be about a week after she transferred to the University of Colorado. The Weisses returned to Chicago for his graduate work where she supported them as a laboratory technician until she was encouraged to use her skills to teach science.Again she became fascinated by something new, the best-selling book "Games People Play," as a tool for classroom management. In 1969, they moved their young family to Colorado to introduce Transactional Analysis in the Denver area while continuing to study and teach and develop their own work.Their first book, "Recovery from CoDependency: It's Never Too Late to Reclaim Your Childhood," sold 40,000 copies. Acclaimed by John Bradshaw as the only psychotherapists who used a true developmental approach to Inner Child work, they taught at Addiction Recovery conferences for several years.Laurie Weiss has long believed that ordinary people can learn to help themselves solve all kinds of problems if only they have the right tools. Through her teaching and writing, she has specialized in making those tools accessible to anyone. She is known for her expertise in writing in a way that makes complex professional information usable by ordinary people.At different times throughout her career she has developed expertise in and taught:•Science Teaching in grade school•Using Transactional Analysis in the classroom•Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy•Codependency Recovery•Developmentally Based Psychotherapy•Feminist Therapy•Ethics in Psychotherapy•Relationship Development (and Healing)•Personal and Business Relationship Communication•Coaching•Rapid Stress and Anxiety Relief (Logosynthesis)She earned an MA in Psychology and a Ph.D. in Health and Human Services while practicing, writing and raising her family. She is certified as a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst, and Master Certified Coach.She is the author of eight books, several ebooks and numerous articles. Her work has been translated into German, Chinese, Spanish, French, Portuguese.Married in 1960, both Drs. Weiss have traveled extensively, teaching in 13 different countries. They have two children and five grandchildren.They love mixing business and pleasure and have enjoyed visiting with professional colleagues and friends around the globe. Lately, they have discovered the delights of learning publishing and internet marketing while cruising with friends and colleagues.They live and work in Littleton, Col. USA.
