"Loving Courageously is one of the best books I have read on the subjects of sex, intimacy, connection and relationships. It is a smart, easy read that is loaded with sage advice and insight from the lens of a highly experienced clinician. Loving Courageously is perfect for clients and therapists alike. Every individual and couple will be better off for having read this book. It is practical, interesting, positive and motivating. Loving Courageously is my new favorite 'must read book' for my own clients." –Neil Cannon, Ph.D., LMFT, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist & Supervisor, Denver, Colorado.
