Product description...

Become More Aware of Your Binary and Eclectic Gender Identity Projections!

Our ways of thinking about gender and gender identity are changing dramatically, and at lightning speed. Currently, there is no relationship experience or field of psychology that is more cutting-edge compelling…and that invites deeper self exploration…than how to grapple with the dynamics of being vulnerably committed to another in a more expanded gender identity consciousness. And only now are we beginning to understand how cultivating an appreciation for the disabling, often paralyzing power of rigidly repeating binary or eclectic gender identity projection, and then reclaiming them, is essential for healthy relationships to truly flourish. Most of us are unaware: If we identify along the binary spectrum, we likely project binarily. If we identify along the eclectic spectrum, we likely project eclectically. Projecting Our Gender Identities Reintegrating Them in Couple Therapy shows us how we can hold our gender identity projections more responsibly and more flexibly while better understanding (and accepting) ourselves. Here we learn why it is that we need to defensively project/protect in the first place in so many of our most intimate exchanges. Ultimately, how I see me affects how I see you! And how I don’t see me affects how I don’t see you! Through our resolve to grow in empathic gender identity attunement, and a healthy interdependence and evolving sensitivity, we become more compassionately free. As we dedicate ourselves to having more transparent (and, yes, sometimes quite difficult) identity affirming conversations with our partners, we honor the gender identity complexities of both self and other.
