Creating Optimal Relationships

Use of the Voltage Concept with Couples

KATHRYN ELLIOTT AND JAMES ELLIOTT

Recent relationship science research finds that intense, satisfying romantic love is a real phenomenon occurring in couples. Creating Optimal Relationships: Use of the Voltage Concept with Couplesprovides the field of marriage and family therapy with the first model for assisting couples to sustain bliss for a lifetime. The voltage concept, based on over forty years of clinical research, uses a skills-based approach from Anthetic Relationship Therapy. By providing psychodynamic skills for facilitating each partner’s psychological growth, the psychological infrastructure is then achieved for supporting optimal relating skills. The voltage concept presents a useful dichotomy of closeness levels to which partners aspire. Couples who want a more surface relationship fit a 
Low-Voltage Relationship model marked by less emotional intensity. With such couples, minimal skills can be taught to reduce any conflict that brought them to therapy. 
High-Voltage couples desire great emotional depth and receive skills to help them achieve it. Perhaps even more valuable, the voltage vocabulary equips clinicians and partners in understanding a common source of couple conflict; that is, the voltage mismatch. The book offers options for treatment when a voltage discrepancy exists in the couple.

Wisdom of the Twelve Steps

David Walton Earle, LPC

The Wisdom of the Twelve Steps is a series of workbooks designed to assist the recovering community – regardless of their addiction, compulsivity, or co-dependency - on their journey toward peace and serenity. Each book has a recovery story relating to the essence of the step, explanations, experiential exercises, and meditations. 

There are many ways of working the Twelve Steps; the Wisdom of the Twelve Steps is another. Whichever way you choose, it is important to continue as each step builds on the previous step and provides its own difficult challenge to changing habits, thoughts, and long-held perceptions. Read the stories and step explanations then answer the thought-provoking questions designed to nudge you toward new discoveries. Clients suffering from any addiction, compulsivity, and/or co-dependency find the  Wisdom of the Twelve Steps a useful tool in obtaining the recovery they deserve.

Let the power of your previously uncontrolled addictive or obsessive desires to work for you now instead of against you. Allow this change process to propel you toward the peace and serenity you so long sought and so long denied yourself. Working the steps allows you to bring your wounded heart into the change process. Use these books as a visual and tangible guide on your miraculous journey.  

Without an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual challenge, recovery often turns into yesterday’s dusty promises and relapse. Use these workbooks together with a 12 Step Program, sponsor, and the treatment community as a guiding force toward an effective program of recovery.

What to Do While You Count to 10

David W. Earle

About the Book

Many people like me struggle with how to control their emotions, especially anger. I am a student of this human struggle and for many years, I've passed this learning on to my students and clients. Recently I incorporated these lessons into a book entitled: What to Do While You Count to 10..Press Release Author Teaches Readers What to Do While You Count to Ten.New book shows how anger can yield positive results                                                                                                                                                                                                    Baton Rouge, LA – (Release Date March 10, 2011) – Xlibris announced today the release of What to Do While You Count to 10. Authored by David W. Earle, LPC, this book teaches readers effective anger management, which allows a negative emotion to yield positive results.   According to the author, thinking about anger in positive terms is alien in most people's experiences. However, a healthy expression of anger is a component for building and maintaining successful relationships. This book contains techniques necessary for using anger in a healthy and constructive manner.

"When people use the lessons in this magical little book, they are able to express love instead of destruction. I firmly believe you are that person," the author says.

What to Do While You Count to 10 is available at Amazon.com in paperback and hardback.

Note of my fellow counselors:

I wrote this book for the lay person in a story form with humor and even a surprise ending. It is a model that I have successfully used in therapy for many years. It includes the theory but with many practical tools to help people manage their strong emotions. If you would like a simple method of helping your clients with the management of strong emotions, this book will worth the price.
