The Intimacy Factor: The Ground Rules for Overcoming the Obstacles to Truth, Respect, and Lasting Love

In her first book in over 13 years, Pia Mellody shows people how to break free from harmful relationships, allowing them to learn how to attain the intimacy they need and deserve. This invaluable resource helps diagnose the causes of faulty relationships–many of them rooted in childhood–and provides tools for readers to heal themselves, enabling them to establish and maintain healthy relationships.

Sharing her unique system of boundary work developed over 20 years, Mellody also reveals how sustaining healthy relationships can activate spiritual principles. Throughout the process, readers learn how to cultivate self-esteem, ultimately freeing them to accept their own limitations and to be imperfectly perfect.
