We had been struggling with desire differences for years. This course normalized our experience and gave us actual tools to work with. The responsive vs spontaneous desire framework was a game-changer.

I wish I had found this course sooner. Understanding that my desire style is not broken — just different — lifted so much guilt and shame. Dr. Ross delivers this material with such empathy.
