Author of New Book Tells How Couples Can Learn to Listen and Be Listened to by Working Together as a Team

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today more than ever it is harder to be heard even in our most intimate relationships. Couples are more easily distracted by electronic devices, of course, but also because too often they rush to judgment instead of actually listening to each other. As a result, couples are paying the price with broken relationships, constant disappointments and arguments that never seem to be resolved, often about the smallest of things, says Denise Healy, M.A.

In her new book, Mending Broken Connections: Ten Simple Strategies to Restore Intimacy in Relationships, Healy draws upon her four decades of teaching, mentoring, coaching, and counseling thousands of real people to offer practical advice for strengthening couples' bonds. "The book is dedicated to helping you let go of the illusion of power and control over each other, activating your curiosity and problem-solving abilities, redefining your relationship priorities, and much more," she says.

In an interview, Healy can share:

• Ways stress affects the brain's ability to problem solve
• How to put aside judgment, criticism and blame to truly hear what another person is saying
• How to finally share your unspoken expectations instead of sucking them up
• The big problem men have with communication and how to fix it
• Tips for choosing the right time to have important conversations that are likely to be successful
