Conscious Loving: The Journey to Co-Commitment: A Way to Be Fully Together Without Giving Up Yourself Book

I have already wrote my responses to this book as I updated my reading progress.
Just want to add 3 points:

The connection between bodily experiences and feelings that's emphasized throughout the book is fascinating. I've been trying to "locate me feelings in my body" as the authors suggest, and it does actually work. When I let myself feel the feelings in my body, I am more in touch with them. I can process everything more clearly, and feel lighter/more open.

Im not sure how I feel about the activities presented in the last chapter. Some of them were so powerful I could feel something shifting in my thoughts and feelings just by reading (and not completely doing) them. Some others only elicited a "you got to be kidding me" response from me, as they seem to oversimplify the issues they're trying to address. I don't know. I guess I'll try them anyway.

I feel like many of the ideas in this book are coming from a place of privilege. White privilege, to be specific. There's an underlying belief that all the threats that people feel or see in the world, or at least the way poeple are impacted by them, are products of their own mindset. Being inherently safe in one's body is white privilege. It was annoying to read it presented as a universal state of being.

Nevertheless, The ideas in this book have already helped me shift my perspective in some of the challenges I'm dealing with in my relationship, without me exactly trying to integrate them. It has also opened many doors for me to think about some behavior patterns that I've been trying to change for years now.

I think everyone will find something helpful in this book.

PS: the level of heteronormativity though...
