TAPES BY JOHN FRIEL In these entertaining, thought-provoking, serious, fun, and stimulating tapes, John Friel has compiled some of the best talks that he has given over the past several years. They are a marvelous way to give added support and understanding to your own, or to a loved one's healing and growth.

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS: MOVING BEYOND EMOTIONAL FLOODING

3 audiotapes. approximately 3 hours. $25.00

New research on long-term relationships by John Gottman shows that certain factors can predict relationship success with startling accuracy. These same factors can be learned, and those that harm relationships can be unlearned, allowing many previously painful relationships to become whole and fulfilling. A special emphasis is placed on Gottman's concept of "emotional flooding" in which we become overwhelmed with anger, fear, hurt, sadness, or shame, and literally drown in the intensity of our own feelings, and then damage our relationships. Ways to enrich relationships and to emphasize appreciation are also a key part of these tapes.
  

 ADULT CHILDREN FROM DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES

3 audiotapes. $21.00

An in-depth look at dysfunctional families from the author of the first bestseller of the same name. Topics include family systems, roles, boundaries, and abuse. A must for review, as well as for getting an initial overview.
 
 

SEPARATENESS AND INTIMACY/SEXUALITY AND SPIRITUALITY

2 audiotapes. $14.00

In these two tapes, John takes you through the stages of forming intimate relationships, from the Attraction Phase to the Mutuality Phase; in a humorous and deeply insightful way. In a more thoughtful style, he looks at the important relationship between our identity, our sexuality, and our spiritual awareness. A powerful and engaging series.

CO-DEPENDENCY: THE SEARCH FOR WHOLENESS

4 audiotapes. $28.00

Covers the problems that arise when one grows up in a painful family, from A to Z. Defines the problems, looks at symptoms, and the many causes of adult pain as they relate back to childhood patterns. This series includes John's outstanding explanation of Erik Erikson's developmental stages, how our identities form, how that affects intimacy, and how we make our relationships painful by some of the mistaken beliefs that we hold, such as: "A good friend must always be there for me."
