Boat. River. Person.: Journeys to Awakeness in Life, Relationships, and Sex - Paperback

by Lisa Terrell (Author)

Boat. River. Person. is a blend of relationship therapy, sex therapy and "self-find" therapy in book form. The author shares her own struggles to find what is missing and invites us into her therapy office where she helps her clients with relationship and sexual problems.

With an inviting voice, the author offers us the metaphor of a beautiful painting of a person in a boat on a river. "The Boat. River. Person. painting" shows us a profound truth-which is really the beginning of our own wisdom.

The book takes us on a journey that invites us to understand and wake up to our true Self. For most of us, that deep and wise part of us is often asleep. While we sleep, the "river" of our lives can buffet, toss, and ground our "boat" onto islands of unhappiness and failure.

Through stories from her life and therapy sessions, she introduces new ways of talking about relationships and sex, like "Thinking about Thinking" or "I Count-You Count", and practical exercises like "Knee to Knee".

As we enter the stories of others, a young woman who wants to find a partner, yet struggles on dates; A marriage where one spouse is fed up; Couples who love each other but are discouraged and doubtful about their relationship because sex isn't working or there is no sex at all; Low sexual desire, no libido, painful sex, secrets; we are inspired for our own journey to find healing and contentment.
