Compassion for Couples

Building the Skills of Loving Connection

No relationship is simple or perfect. But relationships rooted in love and security have the potential to thrive more than you ever imagined. This inspiring and insightful guide will help you achieve a loving, compassionate, and supportive relationship.

Are you in:

  • A struggling relationship, where you and your partner have difficulties communicating and fall into cycles of resentment, annoyance, and detachment?
  • A happy relationship, but you see the overwhelming value in investing in your relationship to make it even better?

With the science-based information and powerful practices in Michelle Becker’s groundbreaking book, Compassion for Couples, you’ll learn the threefold approach to compassion:

  • Self-compassion for ourselves, where you’ll learn how to reframe your inner dialogue and speak to yourself with tenderness and loving kindness. When you practice self-compassion, you can comfort and soothe yourself, let your partner see who you truly are and what you need, and give yourself the courage to set healthy boundaries and speak up for yourself.
  • Compassion for your partner, where you’ll learn how to communicate more openly and affectionately, while identifying where you and your partner get caught in negative patterns and learning how to free yourselves from those patterns. You’ll also learn how to see the pain beneath our partners’ undesirable behavior, and rather than take their behavior personally, we foster a sense of understanding rather than bitterness, even in times we need to set limits or boundaries.
  • Compassion for your relationship, where you’ll discover how to activate the care system instead of getting caught in “reactivity mode,” and build a positive base built on appreciating the good in each other, knowing what your relationship needs, and how to properly care for and nurture the relationship.

Praised by some of the world’s leading experts on self-compassion, this book will help you discover a deeper connection with your partner, and anchor your relationship in what really matters.

Below, you’ll find audio snippets of exercises from the Compassion for Couples book. To get the most out of these exercises, you’ll want to read the book to better understand the context of the exercises and how they can help. From practicing gratitude and appreciation to learning new communication skills, these practices are designed to give you the tools to build the relationship you’ve always longed for—perhaps even better than you ever imagined.
