With this in mind, she focuses on key moments in a relationship and uses them as touch points for seven healing conversations, including:
Through stories from Dr. Johnson's practice, illuminating advice, and practical exercises, you will learn how to nurture, protect, and grow your relationship, ensuring a lifetime of love.
