Are you frustrated with having the same argument week after week? Do you act more like roommates than a couple who’s in love? Are you stuck not knowing what to do to change your connection, communication, and intimacy with your partner? We all want to have deeply connected relationships, but oftentimes, we become stuck in the same arguments and dynamics which keep us from experiencing the joy we wish to feel in our intimate relationships. Speaking with the Heart explains how communication is a love letter. The best conversations start with connection and compassion before any word is uttered. What is needed? What will help? Learning the powerful approaches outlined in the book can transform relationships. The key to effective communication for couples, at all stages, is tied to one core area that we were never taught: how to connect. It’s in understanding the power of making a simple shift from needing to be heard to wanting to connect with your partner—with every conversation—that could redefine how we approach communication in all of our relationships.

America in Therapy presents an unprecedented perspective, envisioning the entire nation as a patient in dire need of therapy. In the first book of its kind, Leavitt highlights a crucial missing piece from national political discourse – the declining state of America’s mental health – and emphasizes that addressing our nation’s ills from a psychological perspective takes us beyond partisanship altogether. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, client case studies, and historical insights, she correlates the destructive dynamics in families with the harmful behaviors of influential institutions and leaders. Using principles like Family Systems Theory and her own innovative concepts, Leavitt paints a vivid picture of the consequences of untreated societal trauma. America in Therapy not only informs but also inspires actions towards reconciliation, unity, and healing. Aimed at a diverse audience, from social reformers to young adults navigating an uncertain future, Leavitt’s work underscores the urgency of waging peace for the survival of our nation and humanity. It is a clarion call to collectively embark on the challenging journey of national healing before it’s too late.
