The Secret of Being Together

By Tsafy and Amos Tsur

It’s time to address your problems as a couple.

Learn about a unique type of couples’ therapy as you embark on a fascinating journey through the world of couplehood. Become more familiar with your own relationship, improving and enriching it, as you find answers to the questions that have been troubling you. Take your relationship to a higher and brighter place.

Peek into the journeys of other couples

Each chapter describes the work of a different couple grappling with its own problems: in the sexual arena, demons of the past that threaten to overwhelm them, emotional intimacy, and addiction. You will be made to feel as if you are sitting in the treatment room with them, accompanying them on their journey, while simultaneously “meeting” and “treating” yourselves. Peek into the journeys of other couples, together with your partner, and then look inward at your own shared experiences.

Be guided by the eclectic approach of top professionals

On the Israeli bestseller list and enjoying critical acclaim from professionals in the field of couples’ counseling, the authors of The Secret of Being Together specialize in combining the conscious, sub-conscious, imagination, images, hypnoses, creation, energy, and intuition – as well as the principles of Buddhism and psychology – in their therapy work.

MY REVIEW

The Secret of Being Together is a compilation of various couples who have overcome difficulties in their own personal relationships with the help of the authors. Every relationship takes different journeys at different times and for different reasons. Their belief is on the importance of there being a dream in every journey. Milestones should also be acknowledged, and perception is everything. A couple should think of themselves as three personas, i.e. each other and the relationship itself. And this relationship should be a priority. This is vital to keeping the relationship on a healthy keel.

I thought it was fascinating reading the tribulations of each couple and following their journeys. Their troubles could all be classified in the same category, but each were unique to each couple. Most of the time I couldn’t wait to find out if they would overcome or go their separate ways, as it was never obvious of the direction that would be taken. I agree that the past must be worked out before the present and future can be examined. Also I, too, believe in the power of imagination. I liked how the authors included the reader by asking not to be sole observers, but to also examine your own relationship with the facts presented. And the part about John and the Holy Book was worth the entire read.
