The Role of Fantasy in Couples Therapy
By Tammy Nelson
Couples who are satisfied with their sex lives are happier than those who aren't, and are likelier to stay together. They describe their relationships as connected, intimate, safe, fun, and affectionate. Conversely, as I've found over 20 years of practice, partners who aren't having good sex are usually more dissatisfied with their relationships overall--more frustrated with each other, more discouraged about their joint future, and likelier to split.
Many therapists assume that if they help couples improve their relationships, the improvement will naturally lead to a rewarding erotic life. But what if helping couples create a satisfying erotic life is the key to increasing their feelings of companionship and mutual connection, not the other way around?
The age-old question is: how can couples maintain a strong, vital sex life over many years without having boredom undermine eroticism? Sexual boredom often results from the assumption by each partner that there's no longer anything new to discover about the other, or about their sex life together. I've found that a therapist can alleviate such sexual ennui by helping each partner reveal previously undisclosed erotic fantasies. This apparently simple step can lead to new ways of seeing and experiencing the partner and the self. In a short time, it can have an invigorating erotic impact.

RE-RELEASE!
New Harbinger Publications
presents:
What's Eating You?
A workbook for teens with anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders
by author Tammy Nelson
Re-release May 2008
Book Description
In a country where a woman over a size 4 rarely makes it onto the cover of a magazine or onto our TV screens, it's not surprising that eating disorders are so prevalent in girls. Whether it's anorexia, bulimia, or binging, eating disorders are destructive and potentially deadly. What's Eating You? helps teens develop the self-esteem and self-acceptance that so often eludes girls with eating disorders. It teaches them how to overcome perfectionism, understand the role that family patterns may play in their eating disorder, and change negative self-talk about their body. As importantly, What's Eating You? shows teens that happiness comes in many sizes.
This book, released in 2003, is now being re-released with a new cover by New Harbinger Publications. To order on Amazon, go to:
http://www.amazon.com/Whats-Eating-You-Workbook-Disorders/dp/1572246073/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207087605&sr=8-2ed in 2004
